What is my theoretical yield (in moles) of Potassium Bromide (KBr) if I start with 40 grams of Iron (II) Bromide [FeBr2]? moles
Verizon [17]
The reaction will be: FeBr2 + K --> KBr + Fe
Balancing gives: FeBr2 + 2K --> 2KBr + Fe
The molar mass of FeBr2 is 55.85 + 2*79.9 = 215.65 g/mol.
We divide 40 g / 215.65 g/mol = 0.185 mol FeBr2
Based on stoichiometry:
(0.185 mol FeBr2)(2 mol KBr/1 mol FeBr2) = 0.370 mol KBr

A gas occupies 2.22 l at 3.67 atm. what is the volume at 1.94 atm?
Iteru [2.4K]
According to Boyle's law, volume is inversely proportional to pressure. thus P=k/V
Therefore PV=k
P1V1=P2V2
In the question above,
P1=3.67atm
P2=1.94atm
V1=2.22L
V2=?
Thus substituting for the values in the gas equation;
3.67atm*2.22L=1.94atm*V2
V2=3.67atm*2.22L/1.94atm
=4.21L
