When a mixture of ammonium chloride and potassium dichromate was heated, a stable colourless gas ‘A’ is evolved which did not support combustion, but Mg continued burning in it. The gas reacted with $CaC_2$ in electric furnace forming a solid 'B'. Which was slowly hydrolysed by water forming a insoluble substance 'C' and a solution of substance 'D' which turns red litmus blue and gives white fumes with conc HCl to form ‘E'. Identify A to E and write chemical reactions involved.
