Answer:

1 mole

Step-by-step explanation:

First thing's first we have to write out the chemical equation for the reaction.

Hydrogen + Iodine --> Hydrogen Iodide

H2(g) + I2(s) → 2HI(g)

Upon observing the stoichiometry of the reaction, we can tell that;

1 mole of H2 reacts with 1 mol of I2

Answer;

1 mole

Explanation;

Iodine and hydrogen react according to the following equation to yield hydrogen iodide.

H2(g) + I2(s) = 2HI

Using the mole ratio; the mole ratio of H to I is 1: 1

Thus; 1 mole of hydrogen will require 1 mole of iodine to form 2 moles of hydrogen iodide.
