Stoichiometry Worksheet 3 W 323

Consider the following equation:

Mg(OH)2(s) + 2 HBr(aq)  MgBr2(aq) + 2 H2O(l)

1) What type of chemical reaction is taking place? ___acid base reaction____

2) How many milliliters of 0.225 M HBr would be needed to react

completely with 3.26 grams of magnesium hydroxide?

Mr Mg(OH)2 = 24 + (16.2) + (1.2) = 58

Mol = Massa/Mr = 3.26/ 58 = 0.056 gr/mol

3) If 31.6 grams of magnesium hydroxide is combined with 68.0 mL of 0.725

M HBr, which is the limiting reagent? How many grams of magnesium
bromide would be formed?

Mg(OH)2 + 2 HBr  MgBr2 + 2H2O

M 0.056 0.728  - + -
R 0,056 2x 0.056  0.056 + 0.056
S - 0.616  0.056 + 0.056

Pereaksi sisa HBr 0.616 M

Mr MgBr2 = 24 + (2.80) =184
Massa MgBr2 = Mol = Massa/ Mr
Massa = Mr x Mol
= 184 x 0.056
= 10.3 gr

4) How many grams of the excess reagent will be left over after the
reaction in part 3 is complete?
