Atoms, molecules and stoichiometry — practice question

The element X and the compound YZ each react with acid, as shown below. $\text{X(s)} + 2\text{H}^+(\text{aq}) \rightarrow \text{X}^{2+}(\text{aq}) + \text{H}_2(\text{g})$ $\text{YZ(s)} + 2\text{H}^+(\text{aq}) \rightarrow \text{Y}^{2+}(\text{aq}) + \text{H}_2\text{Z(g})$ If $1.0\,\text{g}$ of either X or YZ is reacted with an excess of acid, the overall volume of gas produced is the same.
