    In one of the industrial processes used for manufacture of sodium hydroxide, a gas ‘X’ is formed as a by-product. The gas ‘X’ reacts with lime water to give a compound ‘Y’ which is used as a bleaching agent in the chemical industry. Identify ‘X’ and ‘Y’ giving the chemical equations of the reactions involved.

    A water soluble compound 'X' of sodium on reacting with dil. H_2SO_4 released a colourless gas accompanied by brisk effervescence. When the gas was passed through water, the solution obtained turned blue litmus solution red. On bubling the gas through lime water, it initially became milky and the milkness disappeared when the gas was passed in excess. Identify the substance 'X' and write the chemical equation for the reactions involved.

Write the name and chemical formula of S and its reactions will dil H2SO4, name the acid and base from which the substance 'S' is made.

    The existence of negatively charged particle in an atom was shown by J.J. Thomson as a result of the studies of the passage of electricity through gases at extremely low pressure known as discharge tube experiments. When a high voltage of the order of 10,000 volts or more was impressed across the electrodes, some sort of invisible rays moved from the negative electrode to the positive electrode these rays are called as cathode rays. Cathode rays travel in straight path in absence of electrical and magnetic field . Cathode rays consist of material part and charged particles? Cathode rays produce X-rays and light is emitted when they strike on ZnS screen. Cathode rays penetrate through thin sheets of aluminium and other metals . They affect the photogenic plate and passes heating effect when they strike on metal foil. The raito of charge to mass i.e charge/mass is same for all the cathode rays irrespective of the gas used in the tube. The existence of positively charged particle in an atom was shown be E. Goldstein. He repeated the same discharge tube experiments by using a perforated cathode. It was observed that when a high potential difference was applied between the electrodes, not only cathode rays were produced but also a new type of rays were produced simultaneoulsy from anode moving towards cathode and passes through the holes or canal of the cathode. These termed as canal rays or anode rays. These rays travel in straight lines and consists of positively charged particles. These rays have kinetic energy and produces heating effect also. The e/m ratio of these rays is smaller than that of electrons. Unlike cathode rays, their e/m value is dependent upon the nature of the gas taken in the tube. These rays produced flashes of light on ZnS screen and can pass throughs thin metal foils. They can produce physical and chemical changes and are capable to produce ionisation in gases. For cathode rays the value of e/m:
