Q. No chemical reaction takes place when granules of a rusty-brown solid A are mixed with the powder of another solid B. However, when the mixture is heated, a reaction takes place between its components. One of the products C is a metal and settles down in the molten state while the other product D floats over it. It was observed that the reaction is highly exothermic.

100 mL of water at room temperature of $25^{\circ} C$ is taken in a beaker and a little of solid S is dissolved in it by stirring to obtain a solution X. More and more of solid S is added to the solution with constant stirring while keeping the temperature of solution constant at $30^{\circ} C .$ After some time it is observed that no more solid dissolves in water and at the same time some solid is also left undissolved at the bottom of the beaker. The contents of beaker are filtered through a filter paper to obtain solution Y in the form of a filtrate.
