Q4: Allicin is the compound responsible for the
characteristic smell of garlic. An analysis of the
compound gives the following percent composition by
mass: C: 44.4 percent; H: 6.21 percent; S: 39.5 percent; O:
9.86 percent. Calculate its empirical formula. What is its
molecular formula given that its molar mass is about
162g?
Q5: Calculate the mass in grams of iodine (𝑰𝟐 ) that will react
completely with 20.04 g of aluminum (Al) to form Aluminum
Iodide (Al𝑰𝟑 )

The balanced equation is: 2Al(s) + 3I2(s) 

 2AlI3(s)

Using unit factors, we convert: g of Al  mol of Al  mol of I2

g of I2
