What quantity in moles of precipitate will be formed when 51.7 mL of 0.250 M AgNO₃ is reacted with excess CaBr₂ in the following chemical reaction?

\[ 2 \text{AgNO}_3(aq) + \text{CaBr}_2(aq) \rightarrow 2 \text{AgBr}(s) + \text{Ca(NO}_3)_2(aq) \]

Answer :

Final answer:

The quantity in moles of precipitate formed when 51.7 mL of 0.250 M AgNO₃ is reacted with excess CaBr₂ in the chemical reaction 2 AgNO₃(aq) + CaBr₂(aq) → 2 AgBr(s) + Ca(NO₃)₂ is 0.012925 mol AgBr.

Explanation:

To calculate the quantity in moles of precipitate formed, we need to use the given information about the volume and concentration of silver nitrate (AgNO₃).

First, we convert the volume of AgNO₃ from milliliters to liters:

51.7 mL = 0.0517 L

Next, we use the concentration of AgNO₃ to calculate the number of moles:

0.0517 L * 0.250 mol/L = 0.012925 mol AgNO₃

According to the stoichiometry of the reaction, for every 2 moles of AgNO₃, 2 moles of AgBr are formed. Therefore, the quantity in moles of AgBr formed will be the same as the quantity in moles of AgNO₃:

0.012925 mol AgBr
