Diiodine pentaoxide (I₂O₅) was discovered by JosephGay-Lussac in 1813, but its structure was unknown until 1970!Like Cl₂O₇, it can be prepared by the dehydration-condensationof the corresponding oxoacid.(a) Name the precursor oxoacid, write a reaction for formation ofthe oxide, and draw a likely Lewis structure.(b) Data show that the bonds to the terminal O are shorter than the bonds to the bridging O. Why?(c) I₂O₅ is one of the few chemicals that can oxidize CO rapidly and completely; elemental iodine forms in the process. Write abalanced equation for this reaction.
