The moles of I₂ will form from the decomposition of 3.58g of NI₃ is 0.0136 moles.
Moles of any substance will be calculated as:
n = W/M, where
W = required mass
M = molar mass
Given chemical reaction is:
2NI₃ → N₂ + 3I₂
Moles of 3.58g of NI₃ will be calculated as:
n = 3.58g / 394. 71 g/mol = 0.009 moles
From the stoichiometry of the solution, it is clear that:
2 moles of NI₃ = produce 3 moles of I₂
0.009 moles of NI₃ = produce 3/2×0.009=0.0136 moles of I₂
Hence, option (3) is correct i.e. 0.0136 moles.
