A

Aqua regia, `HCl, HNO_(3)`

B

Aqua regia, `HNO_(3), HCl`

C

`H_(2)SO_(4), H_(2)O,SO_(2)`

D

`H_(2)SO_(4),H_(2)S, SO_(3)`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to identify the substances represented by X, Y, and Z based on the clues provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify X (Royal Water)**: - The question states that the Latin name for royal water is X. The term "royal water" is commonly known as "aqua regia." - Therefore, we conclude that **X = Aqua Regia**. 2. **Identify Y and Z**: - The problem mentions that aqua regia (X) is a mixture of Y and Z in the ratio of 3:1. - Aqua regia is made by mixing concentrated hydrochloric acid (HCl) and concentrated nitric acid (HNO3). - In this mixture, the ratio of HCl to HNO3 is 3:1. - Hence, we can assign: - **Y = HCl (Hydrochloric Acid)** - **Z = HNO3 (Nitric Acid)** 3. **Summarize the Findings**: - We have identified: - **X = Aqua Regia** - **Y = Hydrochloric Acid (HCl)** - **Z = Nitric Acid (HNO3)** ### Final Answer: - X = Aqua Regia - Y = Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) - Z = Nitric Acid (HNO3) ---
