Question

What is the mass of bromine in 11.2g of MgBr2?​

Answer 1

9.72 grams of Br

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the salt: MgBr₂ (Magnesium bromide)

1 mol of MgBr₂ has 1 mol of Mg and 2 mol of Br

Molar mass MgBr₂ → 184.11 g/m

So the rule of three will be:

184.11 g of salt have 2 moles of Br

11.2 g of salt have (11.2 . 2)/184.11 = 0.122 moles of Br.

Molar mass Br = 79.9 g/m

Mol . molar mass = mass → 0.122 m . 79.9 g/m = 9.72 g
