Question

For the chemical reaction CaI2+2AgNO3-> 2AgI+Ca(NO3)2 how many moles of silver iodide will be produced from 205g of calcium iodide

Answer 1

Answer:

Moles of silver iodide produced = 1.4 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of calcium iodide = 205 g

Moles of silver iodide produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

CaI₂ + 2AgNO₃     →      2AgI + Ca(NO₃)₂

Number of moles calcium iodide:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 205 g/ 293.887 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.7 mol

Now we will compare the moles of calcium iodide with silver iodide.

                     CaI₂         :           AgI

                         1           :             2

                       0.7         :           2×0.7 = 1.4

Thus 1.4 moles of silver iodide will be formed from 205 g of calcium iodide.
