When \(10 \mathrm{~g}\) of copper and \(10 \mathrm{~g}\) of iodine are mixed, calculate the theoretical yield of CuI according to the equation,
\(2 \mathrm{Cu}+\mathrm{I}_2 \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{Cul}\)

  1. A \(30 \mathrm{~g}\)
  2. B \(10 \mathrm{~g}\)
  3. C \(15 \mathrm{~g}\)
  4. D \(20 \mathrm{~g}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(15 \mathrm{~g}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{I}_2\) is limiting reagent, mole of \(\mathrm{I}_2=\) mole of \(\mathrm{CuI}\) Mole of \(\mathrm{CuI}=\frac{10}{127}\) Mass of \(\mathrm{CuI}=\frac{10}{127} \times 190.5=15 \mathrm{~g}\) Hence, the correct option is (c).
