Question

When a white crystalline compound A is heated with K2Cr2O7 and conc. H2SO4 , a reddish brown gas B is evolved, which gives a yellow coloured solution C when passed through NaOH. On adding CH3COOH and (CH3COO)2 Pb to solution C, a yellow coloured ppt. D is obtained. Also on heating A with NaOH and passing the evolved gas through K2HgI4 solution, a reddish brown precipitate E is formed. Identify A, B​
