Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The author is probably reminding us that knowing the origins of words helps us to remember what they mean.

If "verde" means "green", the "verd" in "verdigris" probably means that verdigris is green.

However, the "verd" in verdigris domes from other languages.

It was originally Latin "viride aeris" (green brass).

In old French it became "verte de Grèce" (green of Greece). The modern French spelling is "vert-de-gris" (green of grey).

The English word "verdigris" comes from the French words.

The molar mass of I2 is 253.80 g/mol, and the molar mass of NI3 is 394.71 g/mol. How many moles of I2 will form 3.58 g of NI3?
Nat2105 [25]
To answer the problem above first we need to find the difference of molar mass of NI3 from I2, 394.71 g/mol - 253.80 g/mol = 140.91 g/mol. Knowing the molar mass of the difference of NI3 from I2, in equation mass (g) / moles (mol) = molar mass, then we substitute. 3.58g / moles = 140.91 g/mol.
moles = 3.58 / 140.91 = 0.025 moles.
