Give reasons why? Tap water is not used to prepare a solution of silver nitrate in the laboratory.

A white solid P, on strong heating, decomposes to give reddish brown gas R and a residue Q. The residue R is yellow when hot and white when cold. The solution of white solid P in water gives white precipitate S, with concentrated sodium hydroxide. The white precipitate S dissolves in excess of sodium hydroxide solution to form colourless solution. Another sample of the solid P in water is mixed with ferrous sulphate solution and then to this solution are added a few drops of conc. sulphuric acid. A brown ring is formed at the junction of liquids. Answer the following questions: Identify the solid P.

A student prepared a sample of silicon chloride by passing chlorine over heated silicon and collecting the condensed silicon chloride in a small specimen tube. He analysed the chloride in a small specimen tube. He analysed the chloride by dissolving a known mass of it in water, and titrating the solution with standard silver nitrate solution. The formula of the silicon chloride as obtained by this method was SiCl_(2.6) as against a 'true' formula of SiCl_(4) . Which of the following possible errors could have resulted in this wrong formula ?
