Question

A metal carbonate X on treatment with a mineral acid liberates a gas which when passed through an aqueous solution of a substance Y gives back X. The substance Y on reaction with the gas obtained at the anode during electrolysis of brine gives a compound Z which can decolourise coloured fabrics. The compounds X,Y and Z respectively are:

A
CaCO3,Ca(OH)2,CaOCl2

Solution

The correct option is A CaCO3,Ca(OH)2,CaOCl2
Option (A) is correct.
The equations are as follows:
CaCO3[X]+2HClCaCl2+H2O+CO2
Ca(OH)2[Y]+CO2CaCO3[X]+H2O
During electrolysis of brine, chlorine gas is obtained at anode.
Ca(OH)2+Cl2CaOCl2[Z]+H2O
