(b).A purple inorganic solid chloride (X) dissolves in water to form a purple aqueous solution
(S1). A blue-green precipitate (P1) is given when a small amount of dilute NaOH(aq) solution
is added to that aqueous solution . When excess NaOH(aq) solution is added, the precipitate
dissolves and a dark green solution (S2) is obtained. When H2O2(aq) solution is added to that
solution, a clear yellow aqueous solution (S3) is obtained, and when H2SO4(aq) is added to it
gradually An orange colored aqueous solution (S4) was formed. When NH4Cl was added to
the orange colored aqueous solution, (S5) solution was obtained and when it was heated, a
colorless gas (G1) and a green precipitate (P2) were obtained.
