Respuesta :
the mass of potassium iodide is 0.360 g
calculation
step 1: write the balanced molecular equation
Pb(NO3)2 (aq) + 2 Ki (s)→ Pbi2(s) + 2KNO3
step 2 ; calculate the moles of Pbi2
moles = mass /molar mass
= 0.500 g / 461 .0 g/mol =0.0011 moles
step 3: use the mole ratio to calculate the moles of Ki
Ki: Pbi2 is 2:1 therefore the moles of ki = 0.0011 x 2/1 = 0.0022 moles
step 4 : find the mass of Ki
mass= moles x molar mass
=0.0022 moles x 166g/mol =0.365 g which is approximate 0.360 g
0.360 grams is the mass of potassium iodide (KI).
How we calculate mass from moles?
Mass of any substance will be calculated from moles as:
n = W/M, where
W = required mass
M = molar mass
Given chemical reaction is:
Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2KI(s) → Pbi₂(s) + 2KNO₃
From the stoichiometry of the solution, it is clear that
2 moles of KI = produce 1 mole of Pbi₂
Moles of Pbi₂ = 0.500 g / 461 .0 g/mol = 0.0011 moles
0.0011 moles of Pbi₂ = produced by 2×0.0011 = 0.0022 moles of KI
Now we calculate the mass of KI using the above formula of moles:
mass = moles x molar mass
mass = 0.0022moles x 166g/mol = 0.365g = 0.360g
Hence, option (5) is correct.
