One of the forms of a naturally occurring solid compound $P$ is usually used for making the floors of houses. On adding a few drops of dilute hydrochloric acid to $P,$ brisk effervescence are produced. When $50g$ of reactant $P$ was heated strongly, than $22g$ of a gas $Q$ and $28g$ of a solid $R$ were produced as products. Gas $Q$ is the same which produced brisk effervescence on adding dilute $HCl$ to $P.$ Gas $Q$ is said to cause global warming whereas solid $R$ is used for white-washing.
