Chemistry

The reason why  Br has a greater magnitude of electron affinity than that of I is that there is a greater attraction between an added electron and the nucleus in Br than in I.

In the periodic table, there are trends that increase down the group and across the period. Electron affinity is a trend that increases across the period but decreases down the group.

Recall that the ability of an atom to accept an electron depends on the size of the atom. The smaller the atom, the greater the attraction between an added electron and the nucleus.

Since Br is smaller than I, there is a greater attraction between an added electron and the nucleus in Br than in I which explains why Br has a greater magnitude of electron affinity than  I.

117.22 g are needed to react with an excess of Fe2O3 to produce 156.2 g of Fe.

Explanation:

                  Moles of Fe = Mass of Fe in grams / Atomic weight of Fe

                                        = 156.2 / 55.847

                  Moles of Fe  = 2.79.

The ratio between CO and Fe id 3 : 2.

                  Moles CO needed  = 2.79 * (3 / 2)

                                                   = 4.185.

 To calculate Atomic weight of CO,

                  Atomic weight of carbon = 12.011

                  Atomic weight of oxygen= 15.9994

        Atomic weight of CO = 12.011 + 15.9994 = 28.01 g / mol.

                 Mass of CO   = 4.185 * 28.01 = 117.22 g.
