Answer:
El Niño is associated with death and disease, most of which result from weather-related disasters such as floods and droughts. In 1997 Central Ecuador and Peru suffered rainfall more than 10 times normal, which caused flooding, extensive erosion and mudslides with loss of lives, destruction of homes and food supplies.
The balanced chemical reaction is:
<span>2 I2 + KIO3 + 6 HCl ---------> 5 ICl + KCl + 3 H2O
</span>
We are given the amount of the product to be produced from the reaction. This will be the starting point of our calculations.
28.6 g ICl (1 mol / 162.35 g ICl ) ( 2 mol I2 / 5 mol ICl ) ( 253.81 g I2 / 1 mol I2 ) = 17.88 g I2
