Br2 + 5F2 --> 2BrF5 How many molecules of BrF5 form when 384 g Br2 react with excess F2?

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

How many moles if 384 g of Br2?

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

*is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

384 g of Br2 is equal to 2.4 moles of Br2

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

Okay, so in order for Br2 to get to 2.4 moles, that's simply multiplying the entire question by 2.4

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

So "2BrF5" that's 2 moles of BrF5 multiply 2 by 2.4 to get your new mole ratio

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why do u multiply it by 2 and not 2.4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohhhhh because of the 2 coefficient.

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2 times 2.4 is equal to 4.8

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

Alright, now multiply 4.8 by the avogadro number to get it into molecules

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, in questions like these, I will multiply the mole ratio by avo's number?

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

if it asks for molecules

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is equal to 2.89 * 10^24?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Avo's number is 6.022 * 10^23. After multiplying, I got 2.89 * 10^24

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

looks good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks! Chemistry is one of the most confusing subjects for me. Haha

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

yw. anymore questions?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes actually, one more.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2NO + O2 --> 2NO2 How many molecules of NO2 can form from 1.11 mol O2 and excess NO?

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

1.11 mol of o2, just multiply 2no2 by 1.11

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

and avogadro's number once again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o2=32 grams. 1.11 times 32=35.52

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

no i mean they already have it in moles so you don't need to convert it to grams

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, so "just multiply 2no2", you mean multiply the 1.11 by the molar mass of 2no2?

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

no by the coefficient 2no2 states there is 2 moles of no2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so, multiply the coefficients by 1.11, and nothing else by it in the equation; then use avo's number?

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be 4 times 1.11, since I added both of the coefficients up?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2*1.11 and 2*1.11 would be 4.44 altogether

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

why would you add the coefficients up xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

q.q I dunt know

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

2 x 1.1=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohhh, so it would be 2.22NO2.22 now?

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

it's 2.2 moles of no2

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

2.2 times avogadro's number and your done

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OH wait wait wait, I see what I did.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I multipled the 2 on the right like it was a coefficient, even though it's a subscript, XD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1.32 * 10^24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks, again! Lol

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

lol yeah np. tag me onto more questions if you got any
