Vedclass · Answer

(A) Test $1$: The reaction with aqueous $NaOH$ and gentle heating produces $NH_3$ gas (which turns damp red litmus blue), indicating the presence of ammonium ions $(NH_4^+)$. Test $2$: The reaction with dilute $HCl$ produces $SO_2$ gas (which turns lime water milky and acidified $K_2Cr_2O_7$ paper green), indicating the presence of sulphite ions $(SO_3^{2-})$. Carbonate ions would turn lime water milky but would not change the color of acidified $K_2Cr_2O_7$. Therefore, compound $X$ contains ammonium and sulphite ions.

Test	Result
Aqueous $NaOH$ is added, then heated gently.	Gas given off which turns damp red litmus paper blue.
Dilute $HCl$ is added.	Effervescence, gas given off which turns lime water milky and acidified $K_2Cr_2O_7$ paper green.
