Empirical Formula of Iodine Oxide

Calculation of Empirical Formula

Given: 25.4 g of iodine (I), 8 g of oxygen (O)

Atomic mass of Iodine (I): 127

Atomic mass of Oxygen (O): 16

Step 1: Calculate moles of each element

  • Moles of Iodine = 25.4 / 127 = 0.2
  • Moles of Oxygen = 8 / 16 = 0.5

Step 2: Find the simplest ratio

  • I : O = 0.2 : 0.5
  • Divide both by 0.2 ⇒ I : O = 1 : 2.5
  • Multiply by 2 ⇒ I : O = 2 : 5

Empirical Formula

The formula could be I2O5.
