Potassium iodide is sometimes used as a sodium chloride replacement for those people who cannot tolerate table salt. Calculate the molarity of potassium iodide solution produced when $55.5 \mathrm{~mL}$ of $8.99 M \mathrm{HI}$ and $35.4 \mathrm{~mL}$ of $14.1 \mathrm{M}$ KOH are mixed.

Key Concepts

Volume Mixing and Dilution

When different solutions are mixed, the total volume of the resulting solution is the sum of the individual volumes. This concept is important because it affects the final concentration of reactants or products, as the number of moles of a substance is distributed in a larger total volume, leading to dilution.

Limiting Reagent

The limiting reagent is the reactant that is completely consumed first in a chemical reaction, thereby limiting the amount of product that can be formed. Identifying the limiting reagent is essential for calculating the theoretical yield of the reaction product.

Molarity

Molarity is a measure of concentration defined as the number of moles of a solute divided by the total volume of the solution in liters. It is crucial in determining how concentrated a solution is, and for performing quantitative calculations related to reactant and product amounts.

Reaction Stoichiometry

Reaction stoichiometry involves using a balanced chemical equation to relate the quantities (in moles) of reactants and products. This concept is key for understanding how the amount of one substance in a chemical reaction is determined by the amounts of others according to their mole ratios.
