Answer:

1.840 x 10⁻³ mol HBrO₃

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the moles of bromic acid (HBrO₃), you should (1) convert milligrams to grams (by dividing by 1,000) and then (2) convert moles to grams (via molar mass from periodic table).

Molar Mass (HBrO₃): 1.008 g/mol + 79.904 g/mol + 3(15.998 g/mol)

Molar Mass (HBrO₃): 128.906 g/mol

2.372 x 10² mg HBrO₃ 1 g 1 mole
---------------------------------x----------------x------------------ = 1.840 x 10⁻³ mol HBrO₃
1,000 mg 128.906 g
