Step  one  calculate  the  moles  of  each  element
that  is  moles= %  composition/molar  mass
molar  mass  of    Ca  =  40g/mol,     S=  32  g/mol ,   O=  16 g/mol

moles  of      Ca = 29.4 /40g/mol=0.735 moles,      S= 23.5/32  =0.734 moles,  O= 47.1/16= 2.94   moles

calculate  the mole  ratio  by  dividing   each  mole with  smallest  mole   that   is  0.734
Ca=  0.735/0.734= 1,      S=  0.734/0.734 =1,   O  = 2.94/  0.734= 4
therefore  the  emipical  formula  =  CaSO4

Fluorine gas reacts with aqueous iron (II) iodine to produce iron (II) fluoride and iodine liquid What is the balanced chemical
Andru [333]

Answer:

F₂ (g) + FeI₂ (aq) →  FeF₂ (aq) +  I₂ (l)

Explanation:

Our reactants are:

F₂ → Fluorine gas, a dyatomic molecule

FeI₂ → Iron (II) iodine

Our products are:

I₂ → Iodine

FeF₂ → Iron (II) fluoride

Then, the reaction is:

F₂ (g) + FeI₂ (aq) →  FeF₂ (aq) +  I₂ (l)

We see it is completely balanced.
