Answer: Thus there are 88.4 g of calcium bromide.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to the molecular mass and contains avogadro's number
6.023* 10^(23) of particles.

Molar mass of = 40.1 (1)+ 2(79.9) = 199.9

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:


\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}


0.442=(x)/(199.9)


x=88.4g

Thus there are 88.4 g of calcium bromide.
