For the chemical reaction below, determine the amount of HI produced when 3.35 g of hydrogen is reacted with 50.75 g of iodine to produce hydrogen iodide (HI).
H2(g) + I2(g) → 2HI(g)
you need to calculate the moles of H2 and I2 so:
H2 has a molar mass of 2
moles of H2 = 3.35 / 2 = 1.675 moles
I2 has a molar mass of 253.8
moles = mass / molar mass = 50.75 / 253.8 = 0.2 moles
with this information we know that the I2 is the limiting reactant
according to the given reaction
1 mole of I2 produces 2 moles of HI so you will have 2 * 0.2 = 0.4 moles of HI
molar mass of HI is 127.9
to find the mass use:
mass = moles * molar mass
mass = 0.4 * 127.9 = 51.16 grams
