14. Perishable food are preserved in vinegar. Why?
15. A metal carbonate on reacting with an acid gives a gas X which when
passed through a solution Y gives the carbonate back. On the other
hand, a gas (G) that is obtained at the anode during electrolysis of brine
is passed on dry Y, it gives a compound Z, used for disinfecting
drinking water. Identify X, Y, G and Z.
