Question

How many moles of bromine atoms are in 2.60 × 102 grams of bromine? 1. 0.0152 mol 2. 79.9 mol 3. 10.5 mol 4. 3.25 mol 5. 2.29 mol 6. 0.308 mol 7. 48.6 mol?

Answer 1

moles  =mass/ molar  mass  of  the  bromine  atom
the  molar  mass of  bromine  atom  is  79.904g/mol
mass=2.60  x10^2
therefore  the  moles  of  bromine  atom=
2.60  x10^2g/ 79.904g/mol  =3.25gmoles(answer  4)

Answer 2

There are 3.25 mol of bromine atoms in 2.60 x 102 grams of bromine. I reached this answer by converting grams to moles. To do this, I divided the number of grams that I have of bromine by the weight of bromine. The weight of bromine is 80 grams. So my equation looks like this when it is all set up: 2.6 x 10^2 g/80g. The answer to the equation is 3.25 mol.
