Identify (X) to (Z) in the following sequence of reactions

Question -

Identify (X) to (Z) in the following sequence of reactions -

$C a O + C 2000^{\circ} C - --- \to (X) + (Y) 1100^{\circ} C ↓ + N_{2} (z) h y d r o l y s i s - ----- \to (P) gas$

Options:

A .

(X) \equiv C a C_{2} (Y) \equiv C O (Z) \equiv C a_{3} N_{2} (P) \equiv N H_{3}

B .

(X) \equiv C a C_{2} (Y) \equiv C (Z) \equiv C a (N H_{2}) 2 (P) \equiv N H_{3}

C .

(X) \equiv C a C_{2} (Y) \equiv C (Z) \equiv C a C N_{2} (P) \equiv N H_{3}

D .

(X) \equiv C a C_{2} (Y) \equiv C O (Z) \equiv C a C N_{2} (P) \equiv N H_{3}

Answer: Option D
:
D

X = $C a C_{2}$ , heating calcium carbide with $N_{2}$ gives calcium cyanamide $(C a C N_{2})$ , which in turn liberates $N H_{3}$ on hydrolysis
