Chemistry
The action of heat on the blue crystalline solid X, gives a reddish brown gas Y, a gas which re-lights a glowing splint and leaves a black residue. When gas Z, which has a rotten egg smell, is passed through a solution of X, a black ppt. is formed.
(a) Identify X, Y and Z.
(b) Write equation for action of heat on X.
(c) Write equation between solution of X and gas Z.
