Question

How many bromine atoms are present in 39.0 g of ch2br2?

Answer 1

Answer is: there is  2,69·10²³ atoms of bromine.
m(CH₂Br₂) = 39,0 g.
n(CH₂Br₂) = m(CH₂Br₂) ÷ M(CH₂Br₂).
n(CH₂Br₂) = 39 g ÷ 173,83 g/mol.
n(CH₂Br₂) = 0,224 mol.
In one molecule of CH₂Br₂, there is two bromine atoms, so:
n(CH₂Br₂) : n(Br) = 1 : 2.
n(Br) = 0,448 mol.
N(Br) = n(Br) · Na.
N(Br) = 0,448 mol · 6,022·10²³ 1/mol.
n(Br) = 2,69·10²³.
