The molecular weight of potassium iodide is 166 g/mol, which means `(166 \quad g)/(1 \quad mol)`. Therefore, using equation method we can write:
`(166 \quad g)/(1 \quad mol)=(61.42 \quad g)/x therefore x = 0.37` mol, Ans.
Using shortcut, the number of moles (`n`) is obtained by dividing gram amount of the substance with its molecular weight. Therefore,
`n=g/a=(61.42 \quad g)/(166 (g/(mol)))=0.37\quad mol` Ans.
