To identify the compound \( (X) \) based on the given reactions, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Analyze the first reaction The first reaction states that when potassium iodide \( (KI) \) is added to an aqueous suspension of \( (X) \) containing acetic acid, iodine is liberated. This suggests that \( (X) \) must be a compound that can oxidize iodide ions \( (I^-) \) to iodine \( (I_2) \). ### Step 2: Consider potential candidates for \( (X) \) One possible candidate for \( (X) \) is calcium hypochlorite \( (Ca(OCl)_2) \). This compound is known to release chlorine, which can oxidize iodide ions. ...
