For the balanced equation shown below, if 98.0 grams of C2H3Br3 were reacted with 62.2 grams of O2, how many grams of Br2 would be produced? 4C2H3Br3+11O2=8CO2+6H2P+6Br2
4C2H3Br3 + 11O2 ---------------------------> 8CO2 + 6H2P + 6Br2
1066.8 g 352 g 479.4g
98.0 g 62.2 g ?
1066.8 g C2H3Br3 -----------------------> 352 g O2
98 .0 g C2H3Br3 -------------------------> 352 x 98 / 1066.8 = 32.33 g O2
we need only 32.33 g O2 . but we have 62.2 g O2 so it is excess reagent .
so limiting regaent is C2H3Br2.
1066.8 g C2H3Br3 --------------------------> 479.4 g Br2
98 g C2H3Br3 -------------------------------> 479.4 x 98 / 1066.8 = 44.0 g
mass of Br2 formed = 44.0 g
