FAQ

What is the molar mass of I?

M(I) = 126.90 g/mol

Why is the molar mass of iodine 126.90 and not 254?

126.90 g/mol is the mass of one mole of I atoms. Elemental iodine is made of I₂ molecules: M(I₂) = 2 × 126.90 = 253.80 g/mol (254 in school problems); in SI units, 0.25380 kg/mol. In a problem about the gas, the molar mass of iodine is usually M(I₂).

How many grams are in 2 moles of I?

m = n × M = 2 mol × 126.90 g/mol = 253.80 g.
