Answer:
42.75 grams of SiCl2Br2 must be weighed out
Explanation:
Here is the complete question:
An experiment requires that enough SiCl2Br2 be used to yield 13.2g of bromine . How much SiCl2Br2 must be weighed out?
Explanation:
First, we will determine the Molar mass of SiCl2Br2,
Si = 28.08, Cl = 35.45, Br = 79.90
Molar mass of SiCl2Br2 = 28.08 + 35.45(2) + 79.90(2)
= 258.78
Hence, the molar mass of SiCl2Br2 is 258.78 g/mol
If 79.90 grams of bromine is present in 258.78 grams of SiCl2Br2
Then, 13.2 grams of bromine will be present in [tex]x[/tex] grams of SiCl2Br2
[tex]x[/tex] = (13.2× 258.78) / 79.90
[tex]x[/tex] = 42.75 grams
Hence, 42.75 grams of SiCl2Br2 must be weighed out.
