We gets approx. 0.014*mol0.014mol........with respect to diiodine......

Explanation:

We need (i)(i) a stoichiometric equation........

3I_2(aq) + NH_3(aq) rarr NI_3(s) + 3HI(aq)3I2(aq)+NH3(aq)NI3(s)+3HI(aq)

Which is the synthesis reaction.........and the decomposition reaction is......

(ii)(ii) NI_3(s) rarr 1/2N_2(g) +3/2I_2(s)+Delta

"Moles of nitrogen triiodide"=(3.58*g)/(394.72*g*mol^-1)=9.07xx10^-3*mol

And thus we get 3/2 equiv diiodine......

3/2xx9.07xx10^-3*molxx126.90*g*mol^-1xx2=3.45*g.

This used to be used as a shock sensitive detonator. When it's dry it's pretty hairy and is to be treated with respect.
