Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Given that barium iodide contains 35.1% barium by mass, the mass of barium in 8.50g of barium iodide is 35.1% of 8.50g. Therefore, the mass of iodine in the compound can be calculated by subtracting the mass of barium from the total mass of the compound. The calculation is as follows: 100% - 35.1% = 64.9% of 8.50g is iodine. So, 0.649 * 8.50g = 5.52g of iodine.
