Question

While cleaning a cut, you spill a bottle of Iodine. The label says that the bottle holds 500 grams of I. How many moles of I are there?

A) 3.31 moles
B) 5.06 moles
C) 12.52 moles
D) 31.78 moles

Answer 1

There are approximately 3.94 moles of Iodine in the bottle.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of moles of Iodine (I) in the bottle, we need to convert grams to moles. The molar mass of Iodine is 126.9 g/mol. Since the bottle contains 500 grams of Iodine, we divide 500 g by the molar mass to get the number of moles. Therefore, there are approximately 3.94 moles of Iodine in the bottle.
