On treatment with cold water, an element (A) reacted quietly liberating a colourless, odourless gas (B) and a basic solution (C ). Lithium reacted with (B) yielding a solid product (D) which effervesced with water to give a stongly basic solution (E) and gas (F). When CO_(2) was bubbled through solution (C ), initially a white ppt. (G) was formed, but this redissolved forming solution (H) when more CO_(2) was passed, precipitate (G) effervesced when moistened with conc HCl and gave a brick red colouration to the bunsen flame. When (G) was heated with carbon at 1000^(@)C, a caustic white compound (I) was formed, which when heated with N_(20 at 1000^(@)C gave a solid (J) of some commercial importance. Identify (A) to (J) and explain the reactions. |
