Question

A solid compound ‘X’ on heating gives CO2 gas and a residue. The residue is then mixed with water to form ‘Y’. On passing an excess amount of CO2 through ‘Y’ in water, a clear solution ‘Z’ is observed. On boiling ‘Z’, compound ‘X’ is formed. Compound ‘X’ is:

Solution

The correct option is B CaCO3
CaCO3 on heating gives CO2 gas and a residue, CaO.
CaCO3ΔCaO+CO2

When CaO mixed with water, it forms Ca(OH)2.
CaO+H2OCa(OH)2

On passing an excess of CO2 through Ca(OH)2 in water, a clear solution sodium bicarbonate is observed.
Ca(OH)2(l)+2CO2(g)Ca(HCO3)2(l)

On boiling Ca(HCO3)2, compound CaCO3 is formed.
Ca(HCO3)2(l)ΔCaCO3(s)+CO2(g)+H2O)(l)

Hence, compound ‘X’ is CaCO3.
