Question

Identify the compound X on the bases of reaction given below Also,write the name and checmical formula of A,B and C Compound X+ZM A+H2{G} arrow CompoundX+HCL B+H2O ARROW CompoundX+CH3COOH C+H2O ARROW

Answer 1

Since in first reaction there is liberation of hydrogen gas on reaction with X. Metals liberate htdrogen gas on reaction with bases. Also in second reaction X react with acid to form water and B. Since acid react with base. So, X is a base. Most common base is Sodium hydroxide.
The compound X is sodium hydroxide.
1. Reaction:
NaOH + Zn $\to$ Na₂ZnO₂ + H₂

Hence, compound A is sodium zincate Na₂ZnO₂

2. Reaction:
NaOH + HCl $\to$ NaCl + H₂O

Hence, compound B is sodium chloride NaCl

3. Reaction
NaOH + CH₃COOH $\to$ CH₃COONa + H₂O

Hence, compound C is sodium acetate.
