One mole of un known compound was treated with excess of water and resulted in the evolution of two moles of a readily combustle gas . The resulting solution was treated with `CO_(2)` and resulted in the formation of white turbidity . The unknown compound isA. `Ca`B. `CaH_(2)`C. `Ca(OH)_(2)`D. `Ca(NO)_(2)`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`underset(" 1 mole") (Ca) + 2 H_(2)O to Ca(OH)_(2) + underset("1 mole")(H_(2))`
`underset("1 mole")(CaH_(2)) + 2 H_(2) O to Ca(OH)_(2) + underset("2 moles")(2 H_(2))`
`Ca(OH)_(2) + CO_(2) underset(" White turbidity")(CaCO_(3)) + H_(2)O`
Since both Ca and `CaH_(2)` react with `H_(2)O` to produce combustible `H_(2)` gas but 1 mole of `CaH_(2)` produces two moles of `H_(2)` , therefore , option (b) is correct .
