An element X forms an iodide 1XI32 and a chloride 1XCl32.The iodide is quantitatively converted to the chloride whenit is heated in a stream of chlorine:2 XI3 + 3 Cl2¡2 XCl3 + 3 I2If 0.5000 g of XI3 is treated with chlorine, 0.2360 g of XCl3 isobtained. (a) Calculate the atomic weight of the element X.(b) Identify the element X.
