Several natural sources yield a liquid chemical X with a molecular mass of 18 amu. Liquid X is required for the life of all creatures and plants. When an current is carried through 100 grams of pure liquid X, 78 grams of gas Y and 22 grams of gas Z are created under ideal conditions. The positive electrode produces gas Y, while the negative electrode produces gas Z. Furthermore, gas Y promotes combustion, whereas gas Z self-combusts, resulting in explosions.
(A) Can the law of conservation of mass be violated?
(B) Write the balanced equation of liquid x when electrolysis is done.
(C) Name the following:
(1) liquid X
(ii) gas Y
(iii) gas Z
