Iodine is prepared both in the laboratory and commercially by adding Cl2(g)Cl2(g) to an aqueous solution containing sodium iodide.

 

2NaI(aq)+Cl2(g)⟶I2(s)+2NaCl(aq)2NaI(aq)+Cl2(g)⟶I2(s)+2NaCl(aq)

 

How many grams of sodium iodide must be used to produce 29.6 g iodine29.6 g iodine ?

STRATEGY:

  1. Convert the mass of I2I2 to moles.
  2. Convert the number of moles of I2I2 to the number of moles of NaINaI .
  3. Convert the number of moles of NaINaI to grams.

Step 1: Convert 29.6 g iodine29.6 g iodine , I2I2 , to moles.
