Answer : The mass of iodine extracted can be 9796.7 mg

Explanation : Given,

Mass of thryoxine = 15.0 g

Molar mass of thryoxine = 776.86 g/mole

The molecular formula of thryoxine is, C_{15}H_{11}NO_4I_4

In C_{15}H_{11}NO_4I_4 compound, there are 15 moles of carbon, 11 moles of hydrogen, 1 mole of nitrogen, 4 moles of oxygen and 4 moles of iodine.

First we have to determine the moles of thryoxine.

\text{Moles of thryoxine}=\frac{\text{Mass of thryoxine}}{\text{Molar mass of thryoxine}}=\frac{15.0g}{776.86g/mole}=0.0193moles

Now we have to determine the moles of iodine.

As, 1 mole of thryoxine has 4 moles of iodine

So, 0.0193 mole of thryoxine has 4\times 0.0193=0.0772 moles of iodine

Now we have to determine the mass of iodine.

\text{Mass of iodine}=\text{Moles of iodine}\times \text{Molar mass of iodine}

\text{Mass of iodine}=(0.0772mole)\times (126.9g/mole)=9.7967g=9796.7mg

conversion used : (1 g = 1000 mg)

Therefore, the mass of iodine extracted can be 9796.7 mg

Explain ways that organisms interact in helpful and harmful ways.
I am Lyosha [343]
Organisms are living things. Us humans are also living things, so we are helpful and harmful to other organisms. For example: we can help another human being with something, or we can help a plant/tree grow if we water it. In return, they also help us by providing us with oxygen. however, we can also be harmful to each other and the environment, for example: we can't hurt each other, or plant or animals by killing them or we can hurt insects by stepping on them. Therefore, organisms are helpful and harmful to each other.
