using the periodic table, find the molar mass of diatomic iodine (i₂). write your answer to the hundredths place. round if necessary. g/mol

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Find iodine's molar mass on periodic table

The molar mass of a single iodine (I) atom is approximately 126.90 g/mol.

Step2: Calculate molar mass of $I_2$

Since $I_2$ has 2 iodine atoms, we multiply the molar - mass of a single iodine atom by 2. So, $M = 2\times126.90\ g/mol$. $M=253.80\ g/mol$

Answer:

253.80 g/mol
