When compound "X" reacts with Aq. Solution of sodium-bicarbonate then a gas "Y" released which temporarily turns lime water milky. The compound "X" is:

Correct answer: D. Salts of ammonium chlorides

  • A. alcohols
  • B. amines
  • C. Sulphates
  • D. Salts of ammonium chlorides

Explanation

NH4Cl forms an acidic solution. If this solution is mixed with aq NaHCO3, CO2 will be released and there will be NaCl and freebase NH3 left in solution. CO2 gas turns lime water milky temporarily. NH4+Cl- + NaHCO3 --> NH3(g) + NaCl + CO2(g) + H2O(l)

About Alkyl Halides

Alkyl halides are named and related to their carbon-halogen structure, polarity and reactivity. The key reactions are nucleophilic substitution by SN1 and SN2 mechanisms and elimination by E1 and E2 mechanisms, including how substrate structure, nucleophile, base, solvent and temperature influence substitution versus elimination.
