Transition metals usually
The reaction will be: FeBr2 + K --> KBr + Fe
Balancing gives: FeBr2 + 2K --> 2KBr + Fe
The molar mass of FeBr2 is 55.85 + 2*79.9 = 215.65 g/mol.
We divide 40 g / 215.65 g/mol = 0.185 mol FeBr2
Based on stoichiometry:
(0.185 mol FeBr2)(2 mol KBr/1 mol FeBr2) = 0.370 mol KBr
Answer:
0.0344 moles and 1.93g.
Explanation:
Molarity is defined as the ratio between moles of a solute (In this case, KOH), and the volume. With molarity and volume we can solve the moles of solute. With moles of solute we can find mass of the solute as follows:
<em>Moles KOH:</em>
15.2mL = 0.0152L * (2.26mol / L) = 0.0344moles
<em>Mass KOH:</em>
0.0344 moles * (56.11g/mol) = 1.93g of KOH
