Question

How many moles of KBr will be produced from 7 moles of BaBry? BaBr2+ K2SO4 → KBr +BaSO4

Answer 1

7 moles of BaBr₂ produces 14 moles of KBr.

Explanation:

Given reaction is

BaBr₂ + K₂SO₄ → KBr + BaSO₄

It can be balanced by putting 2 in front of KBr as,

BaBr₂ + K₂SO₄ → 2 KBr + BaSO₄

From the above balanced equation, it was found that, 1 mole of Barium bromide required to produce 2 moles of KBr.

Now the molar ratio of BaBr₂ to KBr is written as 1 : 2.

In the same way, the molar ratio for 7 moles of BaBr₂, can be written as 7:14.

So 7 moles of BaBr₂ produces 14 moles of KBr.
