Answer:

THE EMPIRICAL FORMULA OF THE COMPOUND IS Ir Se2

Explanation:

Iridium = 16.7 g

Selenium = 10.3 g

Total mass = 16.7 + 10.3 = 27 g

To calculate the empirical formula, we first calculate the percentage com[position of the individual elements.

Percentage composition of iridium = 16.7 / 27 * 100 = 61.85 %

Percentage composition of selenium = 10.3 / 27 * 100 = 38.15 %

Next is to divide the percentage composition of each element by their respective molecular masses

Molecular mass of iridium = 192 g/mol

Molecular mass of selenium = 79g/mol

Iridium = 61.85 / 192 =  0.3221

Selenium = 38.15 / 79 = 0.4829

Next is to divide the values by the smaller of the two values

Iridium = 0.3221 / 0.3221 = 1

Selenium = 0.4829 / 0.3221 = 1.5

Next is to round up the values to a whole number

Iridium = 1

Selenium = 2

The empirical formula therefore is Ir Se2

Answer: The coefficients for the given reaction species are 1, 6, 2, 3.

Explanation:

The given reaction equation is as follows.

Cr_{2}O^{2-}_{7} + Cl^{-} \rightarrow Cr^{3+} + Cl_{2}

Now, the two half-reactions can be written as follows.

Reduction half-reaction: Cr_{2}O^{2-}_{7} + 3e^{-} \rightarrow Cr^{3+}

This will be balanced as follows.

Cr_{2}O^{2-}_{7} + 14H^{+} + 6e^{-} \rightarrow 2Cr^{3+} + 7H_{2}O ... (1)

Oxidation half-reaction: Cl^{-} \rightarrow Cl_{2} + 1e^{-}

This will be balanced as follows.

6Cl^{-} \rightarrow 3Cl_{2} + 6e^{-} ... (2)

Adding both equation (1) and (2) we will get the resulting equation as follows.

Cr_{2}O^{2-}_{7} + 14H^{+} + 6Cl^{-} \rightarrow 2Cr^{3+} + 3Cl_{2} + 7H_{2}O

Thus, we can conclude that coefficients for the given reaction species are 1, 6, 2, 3.
