Question

When a substance A reacts with water it produces a combustible gas B and a solution of substance C in water. When another substance D reacts with this solution of C, it also produces the same gas B on warming but D can produce gas B on reaction with dilute sulphuric acid at room temperature. A imparts a deep golden yellow colour to a smokeless flame of Bunsen burner.


The substance A, B, C and D, respectively are:

A
Na,H2,NaOH,Zn

Solution

The correct option is B Na,H2,NaOH,Zn
Substance A is sodium metal. It reacts with water to produce hydrogen (gas B) and sodium hydroxide (compound C).

2Na+2H2O2NaOH+H2.

Another substance D is zinc.
It reacts with solution of sodium hydroxide, it produces hydrogen gas on warming.
Zn+2NaOHNa2ZnO2
Zinc also reacts with sulphuric acid at room temperature to produce hydrogen gas.
Zn+H2SO4room temperature−−−−−−−−−−ZnSO4+H2

Thus, substance A, B, C and D, respectively are Na, H2, NaOH, Zn.

Hence, the correct option is A
