Question
Before it was banned in the 1970s due it its non-selective toxicity, thallium (I)
sulfate, Tl2S04 (s), was the active ingredient in some pesticides. A chemist
measured 100.0 mL of a solution of thallium (I) sulfate and added excess aqueous
potassium iodide to precipitate yellow thallium (I) iodide, TII (s). The mass of the
dry precipitate was 2.45 g. Find the molar concentration of the thallium (I) sulfate
solution.
M(TII) = 331.3 g/mol
