Calcium hydride on hydrolysis forms?

An inorganic salt $(A)$ is decomposed on heating to give two products $(B)$ and $(C)$. Compound $(C)$ is a liquid at room temperature and is neutral to litmus,while the compound $(B)$ is a colourless neutral gas. Compounds $(A)$,$(B)$ and $(C)$ are:

What properties of water make it useful as a solvent? What types of compounds can it $(i)$ dissolve and $(ii)$ hydrolyse?

Match the reactants in List-$I$ with the products in List-$II$.

List-$I$	List-$II$
$(a). H_2O + H_2S$	$(i). (H_3O^{+}, HS^{-})$
$(b). H_2O + N^{3-}$	$(ii). (NH_3, OH^{-})$
$(c). H_2O + SiCl_4$	$(iii). (OH^{-}, H_3S^{+})$
$(d). H_2O + F_2$	$(iv). (SiO_2, HCl)$
	$(v). (SiO_4^{4-}, Cl_2)$
	$(vi). (O_2, F^{-})$
	$(vii). (HF, OH^{-})$
	$(viii). (OH^{-}, NH_3)$
