Will give brainliest if you show work and have the right answer : )
sulfur dioxide reacts with bromine and water to produce hydrogen bromide and sulfuric acid. if 64.1 g of sulfur dioxide react completely with 159.9 g of bromine and an unknown amount of water to form 161.9 g of hydrogen bromide and 98.1 g of sulfuric acid, then how many grams of water react? (include units)

The answer to your question is:

a) 36 g of water

Explanation:

MW SO₂ = 32 + 32 = 64 g

MW Br = 80 g

MW H₂O = 18 g

MW HBr = 81 g

MW H₂SO₄ = 98

Balanced reaction:

                      SO₂   +   2Br   +   2H₂O    ⇒    2HBr   +   H₂SO₄

                     64g       2(80)        2(18)             2(81)            98

                     64.1       159.9                           161.9             98.1

Rule of three with Br and H2O

                              160 g   36 g

                              160    x

           x = 160(36)/160 = 36 g oh water
