An element, X, can form a chloride (XCl3) and an iodide (XI3). The chloride can be converted quantitatively into the iodide when heated and exposed to excess iodine. If 0.760 grams of XCl3 are heated with iodine, 1.610 g of XI3 are produced. What is the chemical symbol for this element? Use stoichiometry to create an equation that allows you to solve for the molecular weight of X.2 XCl3 + 3 I2 > 2 XI3 + 3 Cl2

Answer : The chemical symbol for this element is, (La)

Explanation : Given,

Mass of = 0.760 g

Mass of = 1.610 g

The given chemical reaction is:

First we have to calculate the moles of and .

Molar mass of Cl = 35.5 g/mole

Let the molar mass of element 'X' be, M

and,

Molar mass of I = 126.9 g/mole

Let the molar mass of element 'X' be, M

From the balanced chemical reaction we conclude that,

The moles of ratio of and is, 1 : 1

That means,

From this we conclude that the element (X) is lanthanum (La) that has molecular weight, 138.667 g/mol.

Hence, the chemical symbol for this element is, (La)

answer:

the reaction is type of combination reaction.

explanation:

on the product side, there are 2 molecules of bonded to fe   which means one atom of fe are combined two molecules of . so, balanced chemical equation becomes :

this reaction follows the reaction type of combination reaction. a combination reaction is defined as chemical reaction in which reactants combines together to form a single product.

answer: they produce more slow than unicellular organisms.
