This problem is providing the length in inches of a rod and it is being required to convert it to centimeters. According to the following, the answer will be 43.7 cm:

<h3>Units conversion:</h3><h3 />

In science, we use units conversion to represent measurements in different types of units depending on a specific requirement. To do so, we use conversion factors based on equivalence statements, relating the required unit with the given one.

In this case, the equivalence statement between inches and centimeters is 2.54 cm = 1 in and we can use it to get the answer as shown below:

$17.2in*\frac{2.54cm}{1in} \\\\=43.7 cm$

How many milligrams of MgI2 must be added to 257.7 mL of 0.087 M KI to produce a solution with [I−] = 0.1000 M?

lbvjy [14]

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
