A compound X on heating gives a colourless gas. This residue is dissolved in water to obtain Y. Excess CO₂ is bubbled through aqueous solution of Y when Z is formed. Z on gentle heating gives back X. The X is

• CaCO₃

• Ca(HCO₃)₂

• Na₂CO₃

• NaHCO₃

Bleaching action of SO₂ is due to its :

• oxidising property

• acidic property

• basic property

• reducing property

For the second period elements the correct increasing order of first ionisation enthalpy is:
