Let y be the atomic mass of E.
Molar mass of O = 16.00 g/mol
Molar mass of Cl = 35.45 g/mol
Molar mass of E = y g/mol
No. of moles of EO₂ reacted = (3.1985 g) / [(y + 16.00×2) g/mol] = 3.1985/(y + 32.00) mol
No. of moles of ECl₃ produced = (5.0573 g) / (y + 35.45×3) g/mol = 5.0573/(y + 106.35) mol
1 mole of EO₂ (containing 1 mole of E) reacts with Cl₂ to give 1 mole of ECl₃ (containing 1 mole of E).
3.1985/(y + 32.00) = 5.0573/(y + 106.35)
5.0573 × (y + 32.00) = 3.1985 × (y + 106.35)
5.0573y + 161.8336 = 3.1985y + 340.160475
1.8588y = 178.326875
y = 95.94
The atomic mass of E is 95.94.
Refer to the Periodic Table. The atomic mass of Mo (molybdenum) is 95.94.
Hence, E is Mo (molybdenum).
