Problem

In salts of polyatomic anions, as the polarising power of the cation increases, the thermal stability of the salt decreases and the decomposed species may further undergo a redox reaction. A water-soluble salt XX was heated into three products AA, BB, and CC. BB and CC are two different paramagnetic gases. AA is red when hot. What is salt XX? (1) Hg(NO3)2\mathrm{Hg(NO_3)_2} (2) FeC2O4\mathrm{FeC_2O_4} (3) ZnSO4\mathrm{ZnSO_4} (4) Pb(NO3)2\mathrm{Pb(NO_3)_2}
