Question
A metal X forms a salt XSO4. The salt XSO4 forms a clear solution in water which reacts with sodium hydroxide solution to form a blue precipitate Y. Metal X is used in making electric wires and alloys like brass.
- What do you think metal X could be?
- Write the name, formula and colour of salt XSO4.
- What is the blue precipitate Y?
- Write a chemical equation of the reaction which takes place when salt XSO4 reacts with sodium hydroxide solution. Give the state symbols of all the reactants and products which occur in the above equation.

Solution
- Metal X could be copper (Cu).
- The salt XSO4 is copper sulphate; its formula is CuSO4, and it is blue in colour.
- Copper hydroxide [Cu(OH)2] is the blue precipitate.
- \[\ce{CuSO4_{(aq)} + 2NaOH){(aq)} -> Cu(OH)2_{(s)} + Na2SO4_{(aq)}}\]

When a mixture of gases X and Y is compressed to 300 atm pressure and then passed over a catalyst consisting of a mixture of zinc oxide and chromium oxide (heated to a temperature of 300°C), then an organic compound Z having the molecular formula CH4O is formed. X is a highly poisonous gas which is formed in appreciable amounts when a fuel burns in a limited supply of air; Y is a gas which can be made by the action of a dilute acid on an active metal; and Z is a liquid organic compound which can react with sodium metal to produce hydrogen gas.
