(i) It dissolves in dilute sulphuric acid. No gas is
produced.


(ii) A drop of KMnO4
is added to the above solution. The
pink colour disappears.


(iii) Compound A is heated strongly. Gases B and C, with
pungent smell, come out. A brown residue D is left
behind.


(iv) The gas mixture (B and C) is passed into a dichromate
solution. The solution turns green.


(v) The green solution from step (iv) gives a white
precipitate E with a solution of barium nitrate.
