How many grams of the bromate is formed when 15.0 grams of aluminum react with excess bromic acid?

Sagot :

First, we are going to write the reaction for this.

We need to balance the reaction too.

[tex]\begin{gathered} 2Al(s)+6HBr(g)======>2AlBr_3(s)+3H_2(g) \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]

-----------------------------------------------------------------

2Al + 6 HBr ===> 2AlBr3 + 3H2

15.g x

We call x the grams of HBr that are going to react with 15.0 g of HBr

----------------------------------------------------------------

The atomic mass of Al = 26.98 g/mol (from the periodic table)

(1 mol of Al = 26.98 g)

The molecular mass of HBr = 80.91 g/mol

(1 mol of HBr = 80.91 g)

---------------------------------------------------------------

2Al + 6 HBr ===> 2AlBr3 + 3H2

15.g x

2(moles) x 26.98 g of Al ----------------------------6 (moles) x 80.91 g of HBr

15.0 g of Al ----------------------------- x

[tex]x\text{ = }\frac{15.0\text{ g x 6 x 80.91 g}}{2x26.98\text{ g}}=\text{ 134.94 g of HBr}[/tex]

------------------------------------------------------------

Answer: grams of HBr=134.94 g
