A metal X froms a water soluble seat `XNO_(3)` When an aqueous solution of `XNO_(3)` is added to common salt solution , then a white precipitate of compound Y is formed alongwith sodium nitrate solution. Metal X is said to be the best conducjtor of electricity and it does not evolve hydrogen when put in dilute hydrohloric acid. (a) What is metal X ? (b) What is salt `XNO_(3)` ? (c ) Name the compound Y. (d) Write the chemical equation of the reaction which takes place on reaction `XNO_(3)` solution and common salt solution giving the physical states of all the reactants and products. (e) What type of chemical reaction is illustrated by the above equation ?
