A student took a small amount of copper oxide in a conical flask and added dilute hydrochloric acid to it with constant stirring. He observed a change in colour of the solution.(i)Write the name of the compound formed and its colour.(ii)Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction involved.The industrial process used for the manufacture of caustic soda involves electrolysis of an aqueous solution of compound'X'. In this process, two gases'Y'and'Z'are liberated. 'Y'is liberated at cathode and'Z', which is liberated at anode, on treatment with dry slaked lime forms a compound'B'. Name X, Y, Z and B.
