1.	A white solid (x) when heated evolves a colourless gas which does not support combusion. The residue tis dissolved in water to form (y) which can be used for white washing. When excess of `CO_(2)` is bubbled through the solution of (y), it gives a compound (z) which upon heating forms (x) Identify the compound (x).
Answer» The data suggests that the compound (x) is lime stone i.e., `CaCO_(3)` and the gas evoloved is carbon dioxide. The reaction that are taking place are as follows " `underset((x))(CaCO_(3)) overset("Heat")(to) CaO + CO_(2) , CaO + H_(2)O to underset((y))(Ca(OH)_(2))` `Ca(OH)_(2) + CO_(2) + H_(2)O to Ca(HCO_(3))_(2)` `underset((z))(Ca(HCO_(3))_(2)) overset("Heat")(to) underset((x))(CaCO_(3)) + H_(2)O + CO_(2)`

A Typical characteristic of the representative element is that the first member of each group gives different present in that group. Lithium is no excepton. Through it is the first member of the alkali metal family (group f), it is anomalous in behaviour. This may be attributed to the small size of both Li and `Li^(+)` ion, high ionisation enthalpy, high polarising power, and non- availability of d-electrons in its valence shell.
