A liquid compound $X$ of molecular mass $18u$ can be obtained from a number of natural sources. All the animals and plants need liquid $X$ for their survival. When an electric current is passed through $200$ grams of pure liquid $X$ under suitable conditions, then $178$ grams of gas $Y$ and $22$ grams of gas $Z$ are produced. Gas $Y$ is produced at the positive electrode whereas gas $Z$ is obtained at the negative electrode. Moreover, gas $Y$ supports combustion whereas gas $Z$ burns itself causing explosions.
