Aqueous hydrobromic acid (HBr) will react with solid sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to produce aqueous sodium bromide (NaBr) and liquid water (H2O). Suppose 5.7 g of hydrobromic acid is mixed with 0.980 g of sodium hydroxide. Calculate the maximum mass of water that could be produced by the chemical reaction. Round your answer to significant digits.

The maximum mass of water that could be produced by the chemical reaction=0.441g

Explanation:

We are given that

Given mass of HBr=5.7 g

Given mass of sodium hydroxide=0.980 g

Molar mass of HBr=80.9 g/ Mole

Molar mass of NaOH=40 g/mole

Molar mass of H2O=18 g/mole

Reaction

Number of moles=

Using the formula

Number of moles of HBr=

Number of moles of NaOH=

Hydrogen bromide is in a great excess and the amount of water produced.

Therefore,

Number of moles of water, n(H2O)=Number of moles of NaOH=0.0245moles

Now,

Mass of water=

Mass of water=

Hence, the maximum mass of water that could be produced by the chemical reaction=0.441g
