Answer:
Mass of iodine = 1954.26 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of chlorine react = 546 g
Mass of iodine produced = ?
Solution:
Chemical equation:
2NaI + Cl₂ → 2NaCl + I₂
Number of moles of chlorine:
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Number of moles = 546 g/71 g/mol
Number of moles = 7.7 mol
Now we will compare the moles of chlorine with iodine.
Cl₂ : I₂
1 : 1
7.7 : 7.7
Mass of iodine:
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 7.7 mol × 253.8 g/mol
Mass = 1954.26 g
