- The gas evolved at anode during electrolysis of brine is chlorine (G)
- When chlorine gas is passed through dry Ca(OH)2 (Y) produces bleaching powder (Z) used for disinfecting drinking water.
Ca(OH)2 + Cl2 → CaOCl2 + H2O
Since Y and Z are calcium salts, therefore X is also a calcium salt and is calcium carbonate.
CaCO3 + 2HCl → CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O
Ca(OH)2 + CO2 → CaCO2 + H2O
