To find the molar mass (Ar) of a compound, we first need to find the number of moles of each element present in the compound using the given masses and molar masses.
Given Mass of bromine (Br) = 0.512 Mass of bromine dioxide (Br2O) = 0.64 g
First, let's find the number of moles of bromine (Br) Molar mass of bromine (Br) = 79.904 g/mo Number of moles of Br = Mass / Molar mas Number of moles of Br = 0.512 g / 79.904 g/mol ≈ 0.0064 mol
Next, let's find the number of moles of bromine dioxide (Br2O) Molar mass of bromine dioxide (Br2O) = 159.808 g/mo Number of moles of Br2O = Mass / Molar mas Number of moles of Br2O = 0.64 g / 159.808 g/mol ≈ 0.004 mol
Since the formula of bromine dioxide is Br2O, and we found that there are 0.0064 moles of bromine and 0.004 moles of bromine dioxide, we can determine the atomic mass of Br as follows:
To find the molar mass (Ar) of a compound, we first need to find the number of moles of each element present in the compound using the given masses and molar masses.
Given
Mass of bromine (Br) = 0.512
Mass of bromine dioxide (Br2O) = 0.64 g
First, let's find the number of moles of bromine (Br)
Molar mass of bromine (Br) = 79.904 g/mo
Number of moles of Br = Mass / Molar mas
Number of moles of Br = 0.512 g / 79.904 g/mol ≈ 0.0064 mol
Next, let's find the number of moles of bromine dioxide (Br2O)
Molar mass of bromine dioxide (Br2O) = 159.808 g/mo
Number of moles of Br2O = Mass / Molar mas
Number of moles of Br2O = 0.64 g / 159.808 g/mol ≈ 0.004 mol
Since the formula of bromine dioxide is Br2O, and we found that there are 0.0064 moles of bromine and 0.004 moles of bromine dioxide, we can determine the atomic mass of Br as follows:
Ar(Br) = (0.512 g * 1 mol/79.904 g) / 0.0064 mol = 8 g/mol
Therefore, the atomic mass of bromine (Br) is 80 g/mol.
