Write short note: Nature of disaster management.
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 with 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 precipitate of substance $T$ is formed. The substance $T$ has the same chemical composition as starting substance $P.$
