A 0.6333 g sample of a metal carbonate was reacted with hydrochloric acid. The carbon dioxide gas generated was collected over water at a temperature of 26.0°C and pressure of 103.80 kPa. The final volume of carbon dioxide gas collected was 125.0 mL. XCO₃(s) + 2HCl(aq) → XCl₂(aq) + H₂O(l) + CO₂(g) What is the chemical formula for the metal carbonate?
