Calculate the mass, in units of g, of Br-79 (78.92 amu, 50.7 % abundance) in a 16 g sample of calcium bromide (CaBr2).

Respuesta :

The mass in units of g, of Br-79 in 16 g of CaBr₂ is 12.77 g

Determination of the mass of 1 mole of CaBr₂

1 mole of CaBr₂ = 40 + 2(78.92)

1 mole of CaBr₂ = 197.84 g

Determination of the mass of Br in 1 mole of CaBr₂

1 mole of CaBr₂ = 2Br = 2 × 78.92

1 mole of CaBr₂ = 157.84 g of Br

How to determine the mass of Br in 16 g of CaBr₂

197.84 g of CaBr₂ = 157.84 g of Br

Therefore,

16 g of CaBr₂ = (16 × 157.84) / 197.84

16 g of CaBr₂ = 12.77 g of Br

Thus, 16 g of CaBr₂ contains 12.77 g of Br
