1. Calculate the grams of NaBr produced when 92.3 grams of NBr3 is reacted with 88.8 grams of NaOH, according to the following equation (Balance First):NBr3+NaOH→N2+NaBr
Q. 1. Calculate the grams of NaBr produced when 92.3 grams of NBr3 is reacted with 88.8 grams of NaOH, according to the following equation (Balance First):NBr3+NaOH→N2+NaBr
Balance Chemical Equation: Balance the chemical equation. NBr3+3NaOH→3NaBr+N2
Calculate Molar Mass: Calculate the molar mass of NBr3 and NaOH.Molar mass of NBr3=1(14.01)+3(79.90)=253.71g/molMolar mass of NaOH=22.99+15.999+1.008=39.997g/mol
Determine Moles Used: Determine the moles of NBr3 and NaOH used.Moles of NBr3=253.71g/mol92.3g=0.3637molMoles of NaOH=39.997g/mol88.8g=2.2205mol
Identify Limiting Reactant: Identify the limiting reactant.From the balanced equation, 1 mol of NBr3 reacts with 3 mol of extNaOH.Required extNaOH for 0.3637 mol of NBr3=0.3637×3=1.0911 molSince 2.2205 mol of extNaOH is available, which is more than 1.0911 mol, NBr3 is the limiting reactant.
Calculate NaBr Produced: Calculate the amount of NaBr produced.From the balanced equation, 1 mol of NBr3 produces 3 mol of extNaBr.Moles of extNaBr produced = 0.3637 mol extNBr3×3=1.0911 mol extNaBr
Calculate Mass Produced: Calculate the mass of NaBr produced.Molar mass of NaBr = 22.99+79.90=102.89g/molMass of NaBr = 1.0911mol×102.89g/mol=112.23g
