when element X is added to concentrated nitric acid, a brown gas is evolved. the unreacted element is then removed from the reaction mixture. A bluish-green solution Y remains. When a Few drops of dilute sodium hydroxide solution are added to Y, a pale blue precipitate forms.
a) Name element X
b) Write an ionic equation for the reaction between X and concentrated nitric acid
c) How would you separate the unreacted element from the reaction mixture?
d) Name the solution Y
e)Write an ionic equation for the reaction between solution Y and dilute sodium hydroxide solution
