Reaction of Acids with Metal Carbonates and Bicarbonates

The chemical ...

Question

The chemical X is a hydroxide of a divalent metal. On treating this hydroxide with $C O_{2}$ , a milky white precipitate of Y is formed. The precipitate turns to colourless solution by the excess passage of $C O_{2}$ . This colourless solution again gives milky white precipitate 'Y' on heating. Identify X and Y and also give necessary equations.

Solution

X is $C a {(O H)}_{2}$ and Y is $C a {C O}_{3}$
$C a {(O H)}_{2} {C O}_{2} - - \to C a {C O}_{3} + H_{2} O$ (insoluble)
X Y
$Y {C O}_{2} - --- \to E x c e s s C a {({H C O}_{3})}_{2}$ (soluble)

A white amorphous powder (A) when heated gives a colourless gas (B), which turns lime water milky and the residue (C) which is yellow when hot but white when cold. The residue (C) dissolves in dilute HCl and the resulting solution gives a white precipitate on addition of potassium ferrocyanide solution. (A) dissolves in dilute HCl with the evolution of a gas which is identical in all respects with (B). The solution of (A) as obtained above gives a white precipitate (D) on addition of excess of
