Question

In the following reaction:

C6H6 + Br2 → C6H5Br + HBr

Assume 1.25 moles of C6H6 react with sufficient bromine, how many moles of C6H5Br should form?

2.50 mol
5.00 mol
0.625 mol
1.25 mol

Answer 1

1.25mol

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation you gave is balanced and everything is in a 1:1:1:1 ratio. Because there is excess bromine, the reaction can proceed until completion which will give you 1.25 mol C6H5Br
