When 16.6 g of KI is treated with an excess of KIO3 in the presence of 6NHCl, ICl is produced. The amount of KIO3 consumed and the ICl formed are:

Correct answer: C. 0.05 mol and 0.15 mol

  • A. 0.1 mol and 0.3 mol
  • B. 0.05 mol and 0.3 mol
  • C. 0.05 mol and 0.15 mol
  • D. 0.1 mol and 0.15 mol

Explanation

First, form a balanced equation of the reaction.KIO3 + 2 KI + 6 HCl → 3 ICl + 3 KCl + 3 H2OCalculate the moles of KI used Mass of KI = 16.6g and Mr of KI = 39 + 127 = 166 Moles = mass/mr = 16.6/166 = 0.1 molesMolar ratio of KI to KIO3 KI : KIO32 : 1 As seen in the equation. So, according to this every 2 moles of KI need 1 moles of KIO3. So, 0.1 moles of KI will need 0.05 moles of KIO3. (As per the ratio)(1/2) x 0.1 = 0.05 molesSimilarly Molar ratio of KI and ICl is KI : ICL2 : 3 As seen in the equation. So, according to this every 2 moles of KI produce 3 moles of ICl. So, o.1 moles of KI will produce o,15 moles of ICl. (As per the ratio)(3/2) x 0.1 = 0.15 moles.Hence, moles of KIO3 = 0.05 moles ICl = 0.15 moles

About Fundamental Concepts of Chemistry

Mole calculations connect mass, number of particles and Avogadro's number, while balanced equations provide the mole ratios used in stoichiometry. Questions cover limiting and excess reactants, theoretical yield and percentage yield, including identifying which reactant is consumed first and comparing the actual product with the maximum possible product.
