An alkyl chloride (X) reacts with magnesium metal in the presence of dry ether followed by treatment of ethanol gives propane. Write the structure of alkyl chloride (X).

A metal carbonate X on reacting with an acid gives a gas which when passed through a solution gives the carbonate black. On the other hand, A gas G that is obtained at anode during electrolysis of brine is passed on dry Y, it gives compound Z, used for disinfecting water. Identify X, Y, G and Z.

Phosphorus forms a variety of oxyacids. In all these, phosphorus is sp^3 hybridised and is tetrahedrally bonded to four neighbouring atoms. These contain P-OH bonds, the hydrogen of which are ionisable giving acidic character to these compounds. These also contain P-H bonds in which hydrogens are notionisable because P and H have nearly same electronegativity. The presence of P-H group in these oxyacids is responsible for their reducing properties. The structures of some oxyacids are given below : Answer the following (1 to 7) questions : The oxyacid of P having tetrabasicity is
