How many molecules are in 3 moles of potassium bromide (KBr)

Chemistry

sattari [20]3 years ago

Answer:

Your strategy here will be to use the molar mass of potassium bromide,

KBr

, as a conversion factor to help you find the mass of three moles of this compound.

So, a compound's molar mass essentially tells you the mass of one mole of said compound. Now, let's assume that you only have a periodic table to work with here.

Potassium bromide is an ionic compound that is made up of potassium cations,

K

+

, and bromide anions,

Br

−

. Essentially, one formula unit of potassium bromide contains a potassium atom and a bromine atom.

Use the periodic table to find the molar masses of these two elements. You will find

For K:

M

M

=

39.0963 g mol

1

For Br:

M

M

=

79.904 g mol

−

To get the molar mass of one formula unit of potassium bromide, add the molar masses of the two elements

M

M KBr

=

39.0963 g mol

+

79.904 g mol

−

1

≈

119 g mol

−

So, if one mole of potassium bromide has a mas of

119 g

m it follows that three moles will have a mass of

3

moles KBr

You should round this off to one sig fig, since that is how many sig figs you have for the number of moles of potassium bromide, but I'll leave it rounded to two sig figs

skelet666 [1.2K]
I don’t know what the “cheater” way is, however you can easily judge how many valence electrons an element has by looking at its group number on the periodic table.

Bonding in chemistry is completely and totally due to electrons. Every element wants 8 electrons in its outer shell in order to be stable. This is what we call the “Octet Rule”.

denpristay [2]

Answer:

Bacterial genes contain no introns, so the cells, which lack splicing machinery, cannot express eukaryotic genes containing introns and exons. Mature eukaryotic mRNA, which has already been spliced, contains only exons, which, after they have been converted back to DNA, can be transcribed and translated by the bacteria.

What happens in a neutralization reaction?
mina [271]

Answer:

Answer is letter B

Explanation:

The first one is wrong because acids release H+, not bases.

The third one is wrong because the pH is exactly 7, not greater.

The last one is wrong because it is vague and does not fit a neutralization reaction.
