Question

 A     student     carried     out     the     reaction     below     starting     with     1.993     g     of    unknown     (X2CO3),     and    
found    that    the    mass    loss    due    to    CO2 was    0.593    g.        
X2CO3(s)        +        2    HCl(aq)        →        2    XCl(aq)        +        H2O(l)        +        CO2(g)

What     is     the     identity     of     X     (lithium,     potassium,     or     sodium)?
