In the following reactions, the total number of oxygen atoms in X and Y is ___________.
Na$_2$O + H$_2$O $\to$ 2X
Cl$_2$O$_7$ + H$_2$O $\to$ 2Y
Answer (integer)
5
Solution
$$
\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{O}+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{NaOH}(\mathrm{X}) \\\\
& \mathrm{Cl}_2 \mathrm{O}_7+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{HClO}_4(\mathrm{Y})
\end{aligned}
$$<br/><br/>
$X$ has one $O$ and $Y$ has four $O$
