Metal 'C' reacts with oxygen to form a compound 'D' which is a black solid. Compound 'D' when dissolved in water, forms a green solution. The metal 'C' is
The information provided states that the metal 'C' reacts with oxygen to form a black solid compound ' '. This suggests the formation of an oxide of the metal '
'. Among the options provided, iron
is known to react with oxygen to form iron oxide
or
, which can appear as a black solid compound.
Furthermore, it is mentioned that compound 'D' dissolves in water to form a green solution.
Iron(II) sulfate is a green-coloured compound that forms when iron oxide dissolves in water. Therefore, the metal '
' in this scenario is likely iron (Fe).
Hence, the correct option is (3) Fe.
