Q.

A solid substance P which is very hard is used in the construction of many buildings, especially flooring. when substance P is heated strongly, it decomposes to form another solid Q and a gas R is given out. Solid Q reacts with water water the release of a lot of heat to form a substance S. When gas R is passed into a clear solution of substance S, then a white precipitable of substance T is formed .
