AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to identify the poisonous element `M` and the gaseous compound `N` produced from the reaction described. ### Step 1: Identify the poisonous element `M` The question states that `M` is a soluble compound of a poisonous element. Common poisonous elements in chemistry include arsenic (As), lead (Pb), and mercury (Hg). Among these, arsenic is known for forming soluble compounds. ### Step 2: Determine the soluble compound of `M` Given that `M` is arsenic, a common soluble compound of arsenic is arsenic trichloride (AsCl3). This compound is indeed soluble in water and is poisonous. ...
