33.3 g HI will be produced.

Start with a balanced equation:

H2(g) + I2(s) 2HI(g)

Convert 33.0 grams of iodine to moles of iodine by dividing the given mass by its molar mass. The molar mass of I2 is 253.80894 g/mol.

33.0 g I2÷253.80894 g/mol = 0.13001 mol I2

From the balanced equation, the mole ratio of I2 to HI is 1 mol I2: 2 mol I2.

Determine the number of moles of HI that can be produced from 0.13001 mol I2 by multiplying times the mole ratio so that HI is on top.

0.13001 mol I2 x 2 mol HI1 mol I2 = 0.26002 mol HI

Calculate the mass of HI in grams by multiplying the mol HI times its molar mass. The molar mass of HI is 127.91247 g/mol.

0.26002 mol HI x 127.91247 g HI1 mol HI = 33.259 g HI = 33.3g HI due to 3 sig figs in 33.0 g of I2 stated in the problem.

33.26 g of HI will be formed.

Explanation:

33.26 g of HI will be formed.

H2(g)+I2(g)2HI(g)

1mol + 1mol 2mol

Using approximate Ar values:

(2×127)gI22(1+127)gHI

So:
