Step 1
1 of 3In this problem, we have been asked to calculate the atomic mass and then accordingly predict the unknown element X, given that :
- X forms a compound with oxygen in which there are two atoms of X for every three atoms of O
- 1.125 g of X are combined with 1.000 g of oxygen
In order to solve the above, we can use the below relation (Assume the formula of compound is : XO) :
Putting moles = atomic mass/molecular weight in above relation, we get :
