1. Write the balanced chemical equation:
AgNO₃(aq) + NaBr(aq) → AgBr(s) + NaNO₃(aq)
2. Determine the limiting reactant:
* Calculate moles of AgNO₃:
(5.00 mL) * (0.100 mol/L) * (1 L/1000 mL) = 0.000500 mol AgNO₃
* Calculate moles of NaBr: You didn't provide a concentration for the sodium bromide solution, so I'll assume it's a 0.200 M solution for this example.
We need the volume of the NaBr solution to calculate moles. Let's assume we have 10.0 mL of the NaBr solution.
(10.0 mL) * (0.200 mol/L) * (1 L/1000 mL) = 0.00200 mol NaBr
* The limiting reactant is AgNO₃ because it has fewer moles than NaBr. This means that AgNO₃ will be completely consumed in the reaction, and the amount of AgBr formed will be determined by the amount of AgNO₃.
3. Calculate the moles of AgBr formed:
Since the balanced equation shows a 1:1 mole ratio between AgNO₃ and AgBr, the moles of AgBr formed will be equal to the moles of AgNO₃ used:
0.000500 mol AgNO₃ = 0.000500 mol AgBr
4. Calculate the mass of AgBr formed:
* Find the molar mass of AgBr:
Ag: 107.87 g/mol
Br: 79.90 g/mol
Molar mass of AgBr = 107.87 + 79.90 = 187.77 g/mol
* Calculate the mass:
(0.000500 mol AgBr) * (187.77 g/mol) = 0.0939 g AgBr
Therefore, approximately 0.0939 grams of AgBr will be formed.
Important Note: This calculation assumes the volume of the NaBr solution is 10.0 mL. If you have a different volume, you will need to recalculate the moles of NaBr and determine the limiting reactant accordingly.
