Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

[RxN - Balanced] 2K + Br₂ → 2KBr

[Given] 1.67 moles K

[Solve] moles KBr

Step 2: Identify Conversions

[RxN] 2 mol K → 2 mol KBr

Step 3: Stoichiometry

1. [DA] Set up conversion:
   `\displaystyle 1.67 \ mol \ K((2 \ mol \ KBr)/(2 \ mol \ K))`
2. [DA] Multiply/Divide [Cancel out units]:
   `\displaystyle 1.67 \ mol \ KBr`
