the iodide ion is a dietary mineral essential to good nutrition. in countries where iodide is added to salt, iodine deficiency has been almost completely eliminated. the recommended daily allowance for iodine is 143 micrograms per day. how much of a salt (in micrograms) that is 76.45% by mass iodide must you consume to meet the rda.

Respuesta :

Using the concept of RDA and with the help of the unitary method, the amount of potassium iodide can be calculated.The term “RDA” stands for the recommended dietary allowance which means that it represents the number of nutrients which should be taken on a daily basis in order to maintain good health.

Let X be the amount of potassium iodide.

 RDA for iodine is 150μg/day 

Calculate the amount of potassium iodide as follows: 

                                         X (76.45%) = 150μg/day

                                         X (76.45/100) = 150μg/day

                                         X = 150x100 / 76.45

                                                 = 196.21μg/day

The amount of potassium iodide that must be consumed in order to meet the RDA is 196.21μg/day
