A coefficient is a whole number that appears before the formula in an equation.
The element "X" is "O" (oxygen).
<h3>Calculation:</h3>
Given,
Chemical formula = Na₂CX₃
Formula mass = 106 amu
Molar mass of Na = 23 amu
Molar mass of C = 12 amu
To find,
Element X =?
We will equate the equation as follows,
2(23) + 12 + 3(y) = 106
46 + 12 + 3y =106
58 + 3y = 106
3y = 106 - 58
3y = 48
y = 48/3
y = 16
We know that Oxygen has molecular mass of 16. Therefore the element "X" is "O".

<span>Two scientists wrote a paper detailing their research and conclusions and submitted it to a scientific journal. Several months later, they received the paper back from the publisher with many comments attached from several fellow scientists. It is either that they revise their study or replicate the study. Most scientists would revisit their work and the findings they had from their research. Most probable if they were successful and the comments of the publisher and the co-scientists were positive they could replicate the study to validate its accountability.<span>
