Answer:

You can make 149.1g of KCl

Step-by-step explanation:

1 mole of potassium chloride, KCl, contains 1 mole of potassium, K. That means, with 2.000 moles of K we can make 2.000 moles of KCl. To solve this question we must convert these moles of KCl to mass in grams using its molar mass (Molar mass KCl = 74.5513g/mol):

Mass KCl:

2.000 moles KCl * (74.5513g / mol) =

You can make 149.1g of KCl
