Question
An element X is trivalent. Write the balanced equation for the combustion of X in oxygen.
Advertisements
Solution
Valency of X is 3+ and that of Oxygen is 2-
The following formula can be obtained by shifting the valency number and moving it to the lower right side of the atom or radical: X2O3
The equation for the combustion of X in oxygen:
\[\ce{4X + 3O2 ⟶ 2X2O3}\]

Which of the following is not an endothermic reaction?
When a mixture of gases X and Y is compressed to 300 atm pressure and then passed over a catalyst consisting of a mixture of zinc oxide and chromium oxide (heated to a temperature of 300°C), then an organic compound Z having the molecular formula CH4O is formed. X is a highly poisonous gas which is formed in appreciable amounts when a fuel burns in a limited supply of air; Y is a gas which can be made by the action of a dilute acid on an active metal; and Z is a liquid organic compound which can react with sodium metal to produce hydrogen gas.
