Explanation:

Step 1: Define

[Given] 8.56 × 10²³ formula units BaBr₂

[Solve] grams BaBr₂

Step 2: Identify Conversions

Avogadro's Number

[PT] Molar Mass of Ba - 137.33 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mass of Br - 35.45 g/mol

Molar Mass of BaBr₂ - 137.33 + 2(35.45) = 208.23 g/mol

Step 3: Convert

[DA} Set up:

[DA] Multiply/Divide [Cancel out units]:

Step 4: Check

Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.

295.99 g BaBr₂ ≈ 296 g BaBr₂

Stoichiometry

• Using Dimensional Analysis

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

[Given] 8.56 × 10²³ formula units BaBr₂

[Solve] grams BaBr₂

Step 2: Identify Conversions

Avogadro's Number

[PT] Molar Mass of Ba - 137.33 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mass of Br - 35.45 g/mol

Molar Mass of BaBr₂ - 137.33 + 2(35.45) = 208.23 g/mol

Step 3: Convert

1. [DA} Set up:
   `\displaystyle 8.56 \cdot 10^(23) \ formula \ units \ BaBr_2((1 \ mol \ BaBr_2)/(6.022 \cdot 10^(23) \ formula \ units \ BaBr_2))((208.23 \ g \ BaBr_2)/(1 \ mol \ BaBr_2))`
2. [DA] Multiply/Divide [Cancel out units]:
   `\displaystyle 295.99 \ g \ BaBr_2`

Step 4: Check

Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.

295.99 g BaBr₂ ≈ 296 g BaBr₂
