Answer to Question #118239 in Physical Chemistry for Puja

Question

A quantity of 1g of metallic carbonate XCO3 is completely converted into a chloride XCL2 weighing 1.11g.The atomic mass of elements X is....

Answer 1

If carbonate of X is fully converted into chloride of X, the equation is the following (moles of carbonate are equal to moles of chloride)

1/(X+12+3*16) = 1.11/(X+71)

where X = 40 u.
