2.00 g AgI *(1 mol AgI/234.77 g AgI) * (1 mol HgI2/2 AgI) = 0.00426 mol HgI23.50 g HgI2 * (1 mol HgI2/454.41 g HgI2) = 0.00770 mol HgI2Since 0.00426 mol HgI2 < 0.00770 mol HgI2, AgI is the limiting reactant.

In the Reaction 2 AgI + HgI2 →\rightarrow→ Ag2HgI4,2

In the Reaction 2 AgI + HgI₂ $\rightarrow$ Ag₂HgI₄,2
