Any element in group 18 has eight valence electrons (except for helium, which has a total of just two electrons). Examples include neon (Ne), argon (Ar), and krypton (Kr). Oxygen, like all the other elements in group 16, has six valence electrons.
The theoretical yield of I2 in the reaction would be 0.23 g
<h3>Theoretical yield</h3>
This refers to the stoichiometric yield of a reaction.
From the equation of the reaction:
Ca(IO3)2 + 10 KI + 12 HCl → 6 I2 + CaCl2 + 10 KCl + 6 H2O
The mole ratio of Ca(IO3)2 and I2 is 1: 6
Mole of 15.00 mL, 0.0100 M Ca(IO3)2 = 15/1000 x 0.0100
= 0.00015 mole
Equivalent mole of I2 = 0.00015 x 6
= 0.009 mole
mass of 0.0009 I2 = 0.0009 x 253.809
= 0.23 g

You would have to dig up 261 g of sylvanite.
Mass of sylvanite = 73.0 g Au × (100 g sylvanite/28.0 g Au) = <em>261 g</em> sylvanite.
