2KI - 2K + 12
Calculate the number of moles of iodine produced in the decomposition of 7.0 moles of potassium iodide (KI). Express your
answer to the correct number of significant figures

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer to your question is 3.5 moles of I₂    

Explanation:

Data

moles of I₂ = ?

moles of KI = 7

Balanced chemical reaction

                2KI  ⇒   2K  +  I₂

Process

To solve this problem use proportions and cross multiplication. Use the coefficients of the balanced chemical reaction for this proportion.

                2 moles of KI --------------------- 1 mol of I₂

                7 moles of KI  --------------------  x

                    x = (7 x 1) / 2

-Simplifying

                    x = 7/2

-Result

                   x = 3.5 moles of I₂        

Answer:

The number of moles of iodine (I) produced is 3.5
