(a) Pyrolusite on heating with KOH in the presence of air gives a dark green compound (A). The solution of (A) on treatment with H2SO4 gives a purple coloured compound (B), which gives following reactions:
(i) KI on reaction with alkaline solution of (B) changes into a compound (C).
(ii) The colour of the compound (B) disappears on treatment with the acidic solution of FeSO4.
(iii) With conc. H2SO4 compound (B) gives (D) which can decompose to yield (E) and oxygen. Identify (A) to (E) and write balanced chemical equations for the formation of (A) and (B) and for the steps (i) to (iii).
(b) Complete and balance the following chemical equations.
(i) Au+HCl+HNO3⟶........+........+H2O
(ii) C+HNO3(conc.)⟶CO2+........+H2O
(iii) Sn+KOH(hot)+H2O⟶.......+.......
(iv) Cu(OH)2+NH4NO3+NH4OH⟶.....+H2O
