Chapter 8, Problem 96AP

(choose chapter or problem)

Heating 2.40 g of the oxide of metal X (molar mass of X = 55.9 g/mol) in carbon monoxide (CO) yields the pure metal and carbon dioxide. The mass of the metal product is 1.68 g. From the data given, show that the simplest formula of the oxide is \(\mathrm{X_2 O_3}\) and write a balanced equation for the reaction.
