    B) \[NaBr\]

    C)  \[NaCl\]            

    D) \[NaN{{O}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     The liberated gas turns starch paper blue hence it must be iodine and substance X must contain an iodide. \[2NaI+2{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}N{{a}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}+S{{O}_{2}}\] \[+{{I}_{2}}+2{{H}_{2}}O\] \[{{I}_{2}}+\]Starch\[\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}\]Starch-iodine complex (blue in colour)
