A metal carbonte 'X' when treated with dil HCI gives Y.Y when used in mines area reduces suspended particulate matter in atmosphere. Identify Y.

A

NaCl

B

`H_2CO_3`

C

`CaCl_2`

D

`CO_2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Anhydrous calcium chloride is deliquescent in nature which absorbs moisture and forms a solution. Thus, `CaCl_2` solution formed does not allow the dust particles and other suspended particulate matter to rise.
`underset((X))(CaCO_3) + HCl to underset((Y))(CaCl_2) + CO_2 + H_2O`
