Acompound contains a metal and sulfur. this compound goes through a combustion reaction such that compound x is produced from the metal atoms and compound y is produced from the sulfur atoms in the reactant. what are the compounds x and y?

a. x is carbon dioxide, and y is sulfur dioxide.
b. x is a hydrocarbon, and y is sulfur powder.
c. x is a metal oxide, and y is sulfur dioxide.
d. x is a metal hydride, and y is sulfur powder.

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

Metallic sulfides on combustion gives metallic oxides along with sulfur dioxide as product.During combustion reaction oxygen reacts with compound.

So, when compound of containing metal and sulfur undergone combustion reaction it gives compound X and compound Y.

Compound X contains metal atom which means it is metal oxide.

Compound Y contains sulfur atom which means it is sulfur oxide.
