If 2.5 grams of calcium bromide reacted with excess lithium oxide, how many grams of bromide product would be formed?

Sagot :

Answer: 2.17 g of  bromide product would be formed

Explanation:

The reaction of calcium bromide with lithium oxide will be:

[tex]CaBr_2+Li_2O\rightarrow 2LiBr+CaO[/tex]

To calculate the moles :

[tex]\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}[/tex]    

[tex]\text{Moles of calcium bromide}=\frac{2.5g}{199.9g/mol}=0.0125moles[/tex]

As lithium oxide is in excess, calcium bromide is the limiting reagent.

According to stoichiometry :

1 mole of [tex]CaBr_2[/tex] produce = 2 moles of [tex]LiBr[/tex]

Thus 0.0125 moles of [tex]CaBr_2[/tex] will require=[tex]\frac{2}{1}\times 0.0125=0.025moles[/tex]  of [tex]NH_3[/tex]

Mass of [tex]LiBr=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.025moles\times 86.8g/mol=2.17g[/tex]

Thus 2.17 g of  bromide product would be formed
