What is the maximum number of grams of nickel bromide that can be produced from the reaction of 67.8 g of nickel with 37.3 g of bromine? _ Ni + __Br2 —-> NiBr2

The answer to your question is a) 51.07 g of NiBr₂   b) Nickel, 54 g

Explanation:

Data

mass of NiBr₂ = ?

mass if Ni = 67.8 g

mass of Br = 37.3 g

Balanced chemical reaction

                Ni  +  Br₂   ⇒   NiBr₂

Process

1.- Find the atomic mass of the reactants and the molar mass of the product

Ni = 59 g

Br = 79.9 x 2 = 159.8 g

NiBr₂ = 59 + 159.8 = 218.8 g

2.- Find the limiting reactant

theoretical yield  Ni/Br₂ = 59/159.8 = 0.369

experimental yield Ni/Br₂ = 67.8/37.3 = 1.81

The limiting reactant is Bromine because the experimental yield was lower than the theoretical yield.

3.- Calculate the mass of NiBr₂

                    159.8 g of Br₂ 218.8 g of NiBr₂

                      37.3 g of Br₂  x

                          x = (37.3 x 218.8) / 159.8

                          x = 8161.24/159.8

                          x = 51.07 g of NiBr₂

4.- Find the excess reactant

The excess reactant is Nickel

                59 g of Ni 159.8 g of Br₂

                  x                37.3 g of Br₂

                            x = (37.3 x 59)/159.8

                            x = 2200.7/159.8

                            x = 13.77 g of Ni

Excess Ni = 67.8 - 13.77

= 54 g

just did the assignment and the answer was #1 +2 n

the earth would become to overheated and everything alive on it will eventually die from overheating. plants will eventually die as well, water will evaporate, and it will be nothing but a hot planet without anything living on it.
