Answer

$c(KI)=5.4895\frac{mol}{dm^{3}}$

Work Step by Step

$V(HI)=55.5ml=0.0555dm^{3}$ $c(HI)=8.99\frac{mol}{dm^{3}}$ $V(KOH)=35.4ml=0.0354dm^{3}$ $c(HI)=14.1\frac{mol}{dm^{3}}$ $n(HI)=c(HI)\times V(HI)=8.99\frac{mol}{dm^{3}}\times 0.0555dm^{3}=0.498945mol$ $n(KOH)=c(KOH)\times V(KOH)=14.1\frac{mol}{dm^{3}}\times 0.0354dm^{3}=0.49914mol$ We have shown that $n(HI)\approx n(KOH)$. The following reaction occurs: $HI+KOH \rightarrow KI + H_{2}O$ $n(KI)=n(HI)=n(KOH)=0.499 mol$ $V_{tot}=V(HI)+V(KOH)=90.9ml=0.0909dm^{3}$ $c(KI)=\frac{n(KI)}{V_{tot}}=\frac{0.499mol}{0.0909dm^{3}}=5.4895\frac{mol}{dm^{3}}$
