All + HgCl, > AICI, -AICI, + Hgl, balance equation then solve the problem
What mass, in grams, of All, is consumed when 138 grams of Hgl, is
produced? *
please help

64.7g

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation of this question is as follows;

AlI + HgCl2 → HgI + AlCl2

Based on the above equation, 1 mole of AlI (aluminum monoiodide) reacts to produce 1 mole of HgI (mercury iodide).

Using mole = mass/molar mass to convert mass of HgI to moles.

Molar mass of HgI = 200.59 + 127

= 327.59g/mol

Mole = 138/327.59

= 0.42mol

- If 1 mole of AlI (aluminum monoiodide) reacts to produce 1 mole of HgI (mercury iodide)

- Then 0.42 mol of HgI will be produced by 0.42mol of AlI.

Using mole = mass/molar mass

Mass = mole × molar mass

Molar mass of AlI = 27 + 127

= 154g/mol

Mass of AlI = 0.42 × 154

= 64.7g of AlI
