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.

Solution :`underset("Element")(Given, (A))+H_(2)Orarrunderset(gas)underset("odourless")underset("Colourless",)(B)+underset("Solution")underset("Basic")(C )`
`Li+(B)rarrunderset("Solid product")(D)`
`(D)+H_(2)Orarrunderset("Solution")underset("basic")underset("Strogly")(E)+(F)_(Gas)`
`(C )+CO_(2(g))rarrunderset("White ppt".)((G))overset(CO_(2))(RARR)underset("Solution")underset("to give a")underset("redissolved")underset("White ppt".)((H))`
`(G)+"conc" HClrarr{:("EFFEVESCENCE produced" and),("gave brick red colouration"),("to Bunshen flame".):}`

Solution: Since `(G)`gives brick red colouration to Bunshen flame it SEEMS `(A)` is calcium.
`underset((A))(Ca)+2H_(2)Orarrunderset("Basic solution")underset((C))(Ca(OH)_(2))+underset((B))(H_(2))`
`2Li+underset((B))(H_(2))rarrunderset((D))(LiH_((s))`
`LiH_((s))underset((D))+H_(2)Orarrunderset((G))(LiOH)+H_(2)`
`underset((G))(CaCO_(3))+CO_(2)+H_(2)OrarrCaunderset(H)((HCO_(3))_(2))`
`underset((G))(CaCO_(3))+underset(conc)(2HCl)rarrCaCl_(2)+H_(2)O+CO_(2)uarr`

`underset((G))(CaCO_(3))+4Coverset(1000^(@)C)(rarr)underset(I)(CaC_(2))+3CO`
`underset((I))(CaC_(2))+N_(2)rarrunderset("Nitrolim")underset((J))(CaCN_((2))+C`
