A liquid compound X of molecular mass 18 u can be obtained from a number of natural sources. All the animals and plants need liquid X for their survival. When an electric current is passed through 200 grams of pure liquid X under suitable conditions, then 178 grams of gas Y and 22 grams of gas Z are produced. Gas Y is produced a the positive electrode whereas gas Z is obtained at the negative electrode. Moreover, gas Y supports combustion whereas gas Z burns itself causing explosions. (a) Name (i) liquid X (ii) gas Y, and (iii) gas Z. (b) What is the ratio of the mass of element Z to the mass of element Y in the liquid X ? (c) Which law of chemical combination is illustrated by this example? (d) Name two sources of liquid X. (e) State an important use of Y in our life.
