Answer:

The answer is 465.6 mg of MgI₂ to be added.

Explanation:

We find the mole of ion I⁻ in the final solution

C = n/V -> n = C x V = 0.2577 (L) x 0.1 (mol/L) = 0.02577 mol

But in the initial solution, there was 0.087 M KI, which can be converted into mole same as above calculation, equal to 0.02242 mol.

So we need to add an addition amount of 0.02577 - 0.02242 = 0.00335 mol of I⁻. But each molecule of MgI₂ yields two ions of I⁻, so we need to divide 0.00335 by 2 to find the mole of MgI₂, which then is 0.001675 mol.

Hence, the weight of MgI₂ must be added is

Weight of MgI₂ = 0.001675 mol x 278 g/mol = 0.4656 g = 465.6 mg
