Question

X+2Cl2=c2h2cl4 +2X ;X=?

Answer 1

X = C2H2;

C2H2 + 2Cl2 = C2H2Cl4.

Answer 2

To find the value of X in the chemical equation X + 2Cl2 = C2H2Cl4 + 2X, we need to balance the equation first. It seems that there might be a mistake in the equation you provided, as there is an unknown variable (X) on both sides of the equation. Chemical equations need to be balanced before solving for any specific variable.

If we assume that the equation should be balanced and rewrite it correctly:

X + 2Cl2 = C2H2Cl4 + 2X

We will balance the equation by ensuring that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation.

1. Carbon (C): There is one carbon atom on the right side and none on the left side. We need to add a coefficient of 1 in front of X to balance the carbon atoms.

X + 2Cl2 = 1C2H2Cl4 + 2X

2. Hydrogen (H): There are two hydrogen atoms on the left side (from C2H2Cl4) and none on the right side. We need to add a coefficient of 2 in front of X to balance the hydrogen atoms.

X + 2Cl2 = 1C2H2Cl4 + 2X

3. Chlorine (Cl): There are two chlorine atoms on the left side (from 2Cl2) and four on the right side (from C2H2Cl4). We need to add a coefficient of 2 in front of Cl2 to balance the chlorine atoms.

X + 2Cl2 = 1C2H2Cl4 + 2X

Now, the equation is balanced as follows:

X + 2Cl2 = C2H2Cl4 + 2X

However, there are still variables (X) on both sides, and we don't have enough information to solve for X without additional context or information about the reaction.
