how many grams of bromine, br2, are required to react completely with 37.4 grams of aluminum chloride, AlCl3?

1 answer:

8 0

The reaction of bromine with aluminum chloride will bring about the formation of aluminum bromide and chlorine through a single-replacement reaction. This can be expressed in a balanced chemical reaction,

3Br₂ + 2AlCl₃ --> 2AlBr₃ + 3Cl₂

This means that 3 moles of Br₂ which is equal to 159.1 g is required to react with 2 moles of AlCl₃ or equal to 266.68 g. Using this and the given above,

mass of bromine = (37.4 grams AlCl3)(159.1 g of Bromine/266.68 g of AlCl3)
Mass of bromine = 22.31 grams of Br₂

<em>Answer: 22.31 grams</em>

ether has a density of 0.736 g/cm^3 at 20 degrees C. what is the volume, in liters, of 225.0 grams of ether?

polet [3.4K]

D = m / V

0.736 = 225.0 / V

V = 225.0 / 0.736

V = 305.7 cm³

Dinitrogen pentoxide can be made by the reaction of nitrogen with oxygen. Consider the reaction

Rom4ik [11]

The only reactants are Nitrogen and Oxygen and the only product is dinitrogen pentoxide. Following the law of conservation of mass, the total amount of reactants must equal the total amount of products. Thus, the total mass of dinitrogen pentoxide:
35 + 48
= 83 grams
