Calculate the molarity of bromide ions in 250. mL of a solution containing 25.9 g NaBr and 0.155 moles of HBr.
1 answer:
Answer:
Explanation:
From the question we were given 0.155 moles of HBr, but Br and H are in ratio 1:1, then there are 0.155 moles of Br- ions.
We were also told that the solution contain NaBr, of 25.9 g. Then it must be converted to moles.
molar mass of NaBr =(22.99g + 79.90 )
= 102.89 g per mol.
the moles of NaBr can be calculated as 25.9 / 102.89
=0.252 moles
But Na and Br are in a ratio 1:1 , then there are 0.252 moles of Br-.
Then to get two Br- mol , we will add the first and second mol of Br- together
= 0.155 + 0.252
=0.407 moles.
The given solution has volume of 250 mL, but we know that there are 1000 ml in a liter, then if we convert to L for unit consistency we have
= 250/1000
= 0.25 L
molarity=0.407 moles/0.25 L
= 1.628 M.
Therefore, Br ion molarity is 1.628 M.

Answer:- The formula tells us that one formula unit of this compound is composed of one calcium atom, two nitrogen atoms, and six oxygen atoms.
Explanations:- Subscripts tell us about the number of atoms of the element for which they are used. For example, here the subscript of Ca is one, it means there is one calcium atom in the given one formula unit.
When we have subscripts inside and outside the parenthesis then they are multiplied and the outside subscript is considered for all the atoms present inside the parenthesis.
Here, for the given chemical formula, the subscript of N is 1 and the subscript present outside is 2. So, 1 x 2 = 2 and for oxygen, 3 x 2 = 6
So, we have one calcium atom, two nitrogen atoms and six oxygen atoms for one formula unit of given compound.
