    I need urgent help with this chemistry problem pleas!!
    Gaseous hydrazine reacts with a gas X to form the gases nitrogen and HX
    by way of the following reaction:
    N2H4(g) + 2X2 = N2(g) + 4HX(g) (1)
    (I)At a pressure of 1 atmosphere and a temperature of 25 °C, 500 cm3 of
    the gas HX has a mass of 0.400 g. Calculate the value of the relative
    atomic mass of X and hence identify element X. (You should assume
    that 1 mole of gas occupies 24.5 dm3 and 1 dm3 = 1000 cm3
    Assume
    the relative atomic mass of hydrogen to be 1.0.)
    (ii) The enthalpy change for Reaction 1 is −1180 kJ mol−1
    Sketch a fully .
    labelled diagram showing how the internal energy changes for this
    reaction. On your diagram indicate the energy barrier for the reaction.

    I'll take a stab at part (I):
    If 1 mol of gas occupies 24.5 L, then 0.5 L of gas must be 1/49 of a mol. Therefore, a mol of the gas HX would have a mass of 49 * 0.4 = 19.6 g. We know that each molecule of the gas contains a hydrogen atom (with an atomic weight of about 1.0), which means that 1 mol of atoms of element X must have a mass of 19.6 - 1.0 = 18.6 g. The element with an atomic weight closest to that is Fluorine.
