A gas 'X' is passed through water to form a solution. The aqeous solution on treatment with AgNO_(3) solution gives a white precipitate. The sturated aqueous solution also dissolves magnesium ribbon with the evolution of colourless gas 'Y'. Identify 'X' and 'Y'

1.	A gas 'X' is passed through water to form a solution. The aqeous solution on treatment with AgNO_(3) solution gives a white precipitate. The sturated aqueous solution also dissolves magnesium ribbon with the evolution of colourless gas 'Y'. Identify 'X' and 'Y'
Answer» `X = CO_(2), Y = Cl_(2)` `X = Cl_(2), Y = CO_(2)` `X = Cl_(2), Y = H_(2)` `X = H_(2), Y = Cl_(2)` Solution :`underset((X))Cl_(2) + H_(2)O rarr HOCl + HCl` `AgNO_(3) + HCl rarr underset(("White ppt"))(AgCl) + HNO_(3)` `MG + underset((X))(Cl_(2)) rarr MgCl_(2) + underset((Y))(H_(2))`
