Finding initial moles of reactants in H2O2 + 2I- + 2H+ reaction

[anthonych414]

Homework Statement

We are given a reaction: H2O2 + 2I- + 2H+ → 2H2O + I2 and are asked to find the initial number of moles of each reactant.

V=10mL and C=0.2 mol/L for potassium iodide in the solution.
V=5mL and C=0.5 mol/L for sulfuric acid in the solution.
V=5mL and C=0.02 mol/L for hydrogen peroxide in the solution.

Homework Equations

n=CxV where n is the number of moles, C is the concentration, and V is the volume.

The Attempt at a Solution

I know we need to use the equation stated above but should we multiply by the coefficient or not?

You mean stoichiometric coefficients? No, just calculate concentration as if you were not knowing what the solution will be used for.
