The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

3CsBr + Al(OH)3 → AlBr3 + 3CsOH

If 25 g of AlBr3 was produced when 125 mL of a CsBr solution was added, what was the molarity of the CsBr solution?

Answer:

2.25 M

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of moles of AlBr3 produced = 25g/266.69 g/mol = 0.0937 moles of AlBr3 .

Now, from the reaction equation;

3 moles of CsBr yields 1 mole of AlBr3

Therefore, x moles of CsBr will yield 0.0937 moles of AlBr3

x = 3 * 0.0937 = 0.2811 moles

If 125 mL of a CsBr solution was added

And;

n =CV

where;

n = number of moles

C = concentration of solution

V = volume of solution

C = n/V

C = 0.2811 moles * 1000/125

C= 2.25 M
