To solve the problem, we need to identify the compound \(X\), the basic oxide \(Y\), and the acidic oxide \(Z\) based on the information provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Acidic Oxide \(Z\)**: - The question states that the acidic oxide \(Z\) can be absorbed by alkaline \(KOH\). - A common acidic oxide that reacts with \(KOH\) is carbon dioxide (\(CO_2\)), which forms potassium bicarbonate when it reacts with \(KOH\). - Therefore, we can conclude that \(Z = CO_2\). ...
