N isn't a metal...
And I'd be worried if your actual teacher got Magnesium.

(Lead for sure)

Under pressure I multiplied by 2 the first time I did the question and got chromium, which fortunately I realised was wrong given chromium ions have an oxidation number of +3 haha, and X ions needed to be +2.

Was definitely lead though. No offense to the people who answered with gases but that is kinda funny :P Totally understandable given exam pressure, don't beat yourself up too much (:

Hey if I multiplied by 2 but then used that answer to work out molar mass in the next part what mark will I get for the last part if I got chromium due to consequential marking??? I'm sooooo stupid!!!!!!
