Question

A 0.158-g sample of unknown metal, X, reacted with hydrochloric acid according to the following balanced reaction: 

2 X (s) + 6HCl (aq) -> 2 XCl3 (aq) + 3 H2 (g)

The volume of the hydrogen gas collected over water was 216 mL at 22 degress C and a barometer reading of 764 mm Hg (VP of water at 22 degrees C is 20. mm Hg)

(a) Determine moles of "X" that would have been present initially to produce those moles of hydrogen using the mole ratio in the balanced equation above.
