If a solution containing 117.63 g of silver chlorate is allowed to react completely with a solution containing 10.23 g of lithium bromide, how many grams of solid precipitate will be formed

Respuesta :

Answer:

18.8 g

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is;

AgClO3(aq) + LiBr(aq)------>LiClO3(aq) + AgBr(s)

Number of moles of AgClO3 = 117.63 g/191.32 g/mol = 0.6 moles

Number of moles of LiBr = 10.23 g/86.845 g/mol  = 0.1 moles

Since the molar ratio is 1:1, LiBr is the limiting reactant

Molar mass of solid AgBr = 187.77 g/mol

Mass of precipitate formed = 0.1 moles * 187.77 g/mol

Mass of precipitate formed = 18.8 g

If in a solution reaction between 117.63 g of silver chlorate and 10.23 g of lithium bromide takes place then, 18.8 grams of solid precipitate will be formed.

What is limiting reagent?

In any chemical reaction limiting reagent is that reagent whose moles are present in less quantity as compared to the other reagent, is responsible for the formation of product.

Given chemical reaction is:
AgClO₃(aq) + LiBr(aq) → LiClO₃(aq) + AgBr(s)

Moles (n) will ce calculated as:

n = W/M, where

W = given mass

M = molar mass

Moles of AgClO₃ = 117.63g / 191.32g/mol = 0.6 moles

Moles of LiBr = 10.23g / 86.845g/mol  = 0.1 moles

In this reaction LiBr is the limiting reagent and formation of product depends on this.

From the stoichiometry of the reaction it is clear that:
0.1 mole of LiBr = produce 0.1 mole of AgBr

Mass of AgBr = (0.1mol)(187.77g/mol) = 18.8 g

Hence mass of AgBr is 18.8 g.
