Question

I PLEASE HELP! How many liters of a 2.25 molar hydrobromic acid (HBr) solution would be needed to react completely with 100.0 grams of calcium metal? Ca (s) + 2HBr (aq) CaBr2 (aq) + H2 (g)

Answer 1

Moles of calcium metal used = 100/40.1=2.5
Moles of HBr need to react = 5 moles
As the molar ratio is 1 is to 2 among them
so
Moles=molarity x volume
5=2.25 x volume
volume=2.22 litres of HBr required for this reaction
ANSWER IS 2.22 LITRES
