An element X reacts with hydrogen gas at 200°C to form
Chapter 8, Problem 105P(choose chapter or problem)
An element X reacts with hydrogen gas at \(200^\circ \mathrm C\) to form compound Y. When Y is heated to a higher temperature, it decomposes to the element X and hydrogen gas in the ratio of 559 mL of \(\mathrm H_2\) (measured at STP) for 1.00 g of X reacted. X also combines with chlorine to form a compound Z, which contains 63.89 percent by mass of chlorine. Deduce the identity of X.

ANSWER:
Step 1 of 5
Here, we find the identity of “X” .
From the given data , “X” reacts with hydrogen to form “Y”.
The chemical reaction is as follows.
X + \(H_2\) Y
