AI Generated Solution

To identify the compound (A) and provide the equations for the reactions mentioned, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Compound (A) The problem states that compound (A) imparts a golden yellow flame. This characteristic flame test is indicative of sodium compounds. Therefore, we can conclude that compound (A) is sodium hydroxide (NaOH). ### Step 2: Reaction with Zinc Powder The first reaction states that when a concentrated solution of (A) is boiled with zinc powder, hydrogen gas is evolved. The reaction can be represented as follows: ...
