Answer» Explanation: Compound A reacts with water and GIVES compound B which is used in whitewashing. Compound A + water → Compound B (used in white washing) The substance used for white washing is CaO (Calcium Oxide). Therefore, compound A is Calcium oxide having formula CaO. \sf{CaO+H_2O\rightarrow Ca(OH)_2}CaO+H 2 O→Ca(OH) 2
So, compound B is Calcium Hydroxide (another name - Slaked lime) having formula Ca(OH)2. The above reaction is an example of a Combination Reaction. Because in it two or more reactants combine to form a single product. Now, compound B reacts with carbon DIOXIDE to form a white precipitate of compound C. Compound B + Carbon dioxide → Compound C (which forms white precipitate) \sf{Ca(OH)_2+CO_2\rightarrow CaCO_3+H_2O}Ca(OH) 2 +CO 2 →CaCO 3 +H 2 O Therefore, compound C is Calcium Carbonate. The above reaction is an example of a DOUBLE Displacement Reaction. Because the exchange of ions takes PLACE. Also, known as PRECIPITATION Reaction, as the formation of precipitate takes place. |
