problem

Compound X contains element E. The mass percentage of E in X is 74.65%. X can be formed from a common binary oxide of E by boiling it with bromine (Br2) in a sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution. Sodium bromide (NaBr) and water (H2O) are formed as side products. After this reaction, the oxidation state of E increases by 2. X is a strong oxidising agent, oxidising manganese(II) ions (MnMn2+) in a hot solution of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and nitric acid (HNO3) to permanganate ions (MnO4MnO4-). Identify X. Think step by step and solve the problem below. At the end of your response, write your final answer on a new line starting with “FINAL ANSWER”. It should be an answer to the question such as providing a number, mathematical expression, formula, or entity name, without any extra commentary or providing multiple answer attempts.
