g A chemist combines 59.9 mL of 0.282 M potassium bromide with 15.4 mL of 0.512 M silver nitrate. (a) How many grams of silver bromide will precipitate

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the undergoing chemical reaction is:

Thus, since the potassium bromide and silver nitrate are in a 1:1 mole ratio, the first step is to identify the limiting reactant, by considering the reacting volumes of reactants in order to compute the available moles of potassium bromide and the moles of potassium bromide consumed by the 15.4 mL of 0.512-M solution of silver nitrate:

In such a way, since less moles are consumed than available, we infer that silver nitrate is the limiting reactant, for which the resulting grams of silver bromide (molar mass 187.8 g/mol) result:

Best regards.

you need to take a look at the periodic system in order to sort these elements into pairs that would most likely exhibit similar chemical properties. first, you need to find elements that are found in the same group (groups are vertical in the periodic system), and then to see whether they have the same valence number. if they meet these criteria, they will have similar properties.

the first pair: ne (neon) and kr (krypton), are noble gases found in group 8

the second pair: li (lithium) and k (potassium), found in group 1

the third pair: s (sulfur) and te (tellurium), found in group 6
