summary: a strip of copper is reacted with iodide vapor. a white compound forms in the surface of the copper strip, after, this white compound it washed off the strip.
mass of copper strip=1.2789
mass of copper strip and white compound=1.2874
mass of copper strip after washing=1.2748
questions- 1-if some unreacted iodide were to condense on the strip, how would it affect the empirical formula that could be calculated
2- a small amount of the white compound flakes off the strip before weighing, how would it affect calculated empirical formula
(no # calculations are required, just an explanation of how it would affect it, i have no idea what to say.)
