Solution

The correct option is C 1.5×103
Milli moles of Pb(NO3)2=35×1.5=52.5
Milli moles of KI=15×0.2=3.0Pb(NO3)2+2KIPbI2+2KNO3

2 moles of KI react with 1 mole of Pb(NO3)2
moles of Pb(NO3)2 react with 3 mmoles of KI = 1×3×1032=1.5×103
. Hence the limiting reagent is KI.
Moles of PbI2 formed =32×103=1.5×103
