The fittest species for a certain biome will adapt and change so as to keep living. This process is evolution and an example can be giraffes. If they had smaller necks, they couldn't reach the tree tops where food is, so only the fittest one with large necks survived, and they evolved by having the entire species grow up with large necks.
Answer:
IO₂
Explanation:
We have been given the mass percentages of the elements that makes up the compound:
Mass percentage given are:
Iodine = 79.86%
Oxygen = 20.14%
To calculate the empirical formula which is the simplest formula of the compound, we follow these steps:
> Express the mass percentages as the mass of the elements of the compound.
> Find the number of moles by dividing through by the atomic masses
> Divide by the smallest and either approximate to nearest whole number or multiply through by a factor.
> The ratio is the empirical formula of the compound.
Solution:
I O
% of elements 79.86 20.14
Mass (in g) 79.86 20.14
Moles(divide by
Atomic mass) 79.86/127 20.14/16
Moles 0.634 1.259
Dividing by
Smallest 0.634/0.634 1.259/0.634
1 2
The empirical formula is IO₂
