If 100 grams of NI3 is detonated, calculate the Gram of N2 and I2 formed.

How many grams of K2Cr2O7 must be used to consume 1.90g of C2H6O ?

To calculate the grams of N2 and I2 formed when 100 grams of NI3 is detonated, we need to use stoichiometry and the molar mass of each compound.

The balanced chemical equation for the detonation of NI3 is:

2 NI3 -> N2 + 3 I2

From this equation, we can see that for every 2 moles of NI3 detonated, we get 1 mole of N2 and 3 moles of I2.

First, we need to convert the mass of NI3 to moles. To do this, we divide the mass by the molar mass of NI3. The molar mass of NI3 is found by summing the atomic masses of nitrogen (N) and three iodine (I) atoms:

Molar mass of NI3 = (1 x atomic mass of N) + (3 x atomic mass of I)

Next, we calculate the moles of NI3:

Moles of NI3 = Mass of NI3 / Molar mass of NI3

After calculating the moles of NI3, we can use the stoichiometry from the balanced equation to find the moles of N2 and I2 formed.

Moles of N2 = Moles of NI3 x (1 mole N2 / 2 moles NI3)

Moles of I2 = Moles of NI3 x (3 moles I2 / 2 moles NI3)

Finally, we can convert the moles of N2 and I2 to grams by multiplying by their respective molar masses:

Grams of N2 = Moles of N2 x Molar mass of N2

Grams of I2 = Moles of I2 x Molar mass of I2

By following these steps, you can calculate the grams of N2 and I2 formed when 100 grams of NI3 is detonated.
