1.

A combines with B to form C and D. A and D are major contributors for global warming and both are carbon compounds. B is a supporter of combustion. Magnesium burns in the presence of B with a dazzling white flame and forms a product X which is basic in nature. With C, X forms a corresponding compound which turns red litmus paper to blue. Give the respective chemical reaction involved.

Answer»

Solution :A is METHANE, B is oxygen, C is water vapour and D is carbon dioxide. Methane and `CO_(2)` contribute to green house effect and both are carbon COMPOUNDS. Oxygen combines with magnesium produces megnesium oxide with DAZZLING white flame.
`2Mg+O_(2)to1MgO`,MgO is basic in nature.
`MgO+H_(2)OtoMg(OH)_(2)`.
Magnesium hydroxide is base which trurns red litmus blue.
