Answer:
72.611g
Explanation:
Step1:
We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:
2CuBr + Mg → 2Cu + MgBr2
Step 2:
Let us calculate the mass of Mg in 0.253 mole of Mg. This is illustrated below:
Molar Mass of Mg = 24g/mol
Mole of Mg = 0.253 mole
Mass of Mg =?
Mass = number of mole x molar Mass
Mass of Mg = 0.253 x 24
Mass of Mg = 6.072g
Step 3:
Let us calculate the mass of CuBr and the mass of Mg that reacted from the balanced equation. This is illustrated below:
Molar Mass of CuBr = 63.5 + 80 = 143.5g/mol
Mass of CuBr from the balanced equation above = 2 x 143.5 = 287g
Molar Mass of Mg = 24g/mol
Step 4:
The mass of CuBr consumed by 0.253 mole ( i.e 6.072g) of Mg can be obtained as follow:
From the balanced equation:
2CuBr + Mg → 2Cu + MgBr2
287g of CuBr were consumed by 24g of Mg.
Therefore, Xg of CuBr will be consume by 6.072g of Mg i.e
Xg of CuBr = (287x6.072)/24
Xg of CuBr = 72.611g
Therefore, 72.611g of CuBr is consumed by 0.253 mole of magnesium
