A crystalline solid X reacts with dil.HCl to liberate a gas Y. Y decolourises acidified KMnO4. When a gas Z is slowly passed into an aqueous solution of Y, colloidal sulfur is obtained. X and Z could be, respectively:

Solution
The correct option is DNa2SO3,H2S X and Z could be Na2SO3,H2S respectively.
Na2SO3 (crystalline solid) reacts with dil.HCl to liberate SO2. Na2SO3+2HCl(dil)→2NaCl+SO2↑+H2O SO2 decolourises acidified KMnO4. 5SO2+2KMnO4+2H2O→K2SO4+2MnSO4+2H2SO4 When H2S gas is slowly passed into an aqueous solution of SO2, colloidal sulphur is obtained. SO2+2H2S→2H2O+3S↓
