Answer: 0.3794 moles of Iodine gas are produced.
Explanation:

Volume of iodine gas produced at STP =8.5 L
At STP, the 1 mol of gas occupies volume = 22.4 L
So, 8.5 L of volume will be occupied by:
0.3794 moles of Iodine gas are produced.
Answer:
Mo(CO)5 is the intermediate in this reaction mechanism.
Explanation:
The reaction mechanism describes the sequence of elementary reactions that must occur to go from reactants to products. Reaction intermediates are formed in one step and then consumed in a later step of the reaction mechanism.
In this reaction mechanism, Mo(CO)5 is the product of 1st reaction and then it is used as a reactant in 2nd reaction. So, Mo(CO)5 is the reaction intermediates.
The overall balanced equation would be,
Mo(CO)6 + P(CH3) ↔ CO + Mo(CO)5 + P(CH3)3
A) It decreases because the distance between the nucleus and outermost shell increases
