    the mass of potassium iodide is 0.360 g

    calculation

    step 1: write the balanced molecular equation

    Pb (NO3) 2 (aq) + 2 Ki (s) → Pbi2 (s) + 2KNO3

    step 2; calculate the moles of Pbi2

    moles = mass / molar mass

    = 0.500 g / 461.0 g/mol = 0.0011 moles

    step 3: use the mole ratio to calculate the moles of Ki

    Ki: Pbi2 is 2:1 therefore the moles of ki = 0.0011 x 2/1 = 0.0022 moles

    step 4 : find the mass of Ki

    mass = moles x molar mass

    =0.0022 moles x 166g/mol = 0.365 g which is approximate 0.360 g
