Question

Aqueous hydrobromic acid HBr will react with solid sodium hydroxide NaOH to produce aqueous sodium bromide NaBr and liquid water H2O. Suppose 79.3 g of hydrobromic acid is mixed with 24. g of sodium hydroxide. Calculate the minimum mass of hydrobromic acid that could be left over by the chemical reaction. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given,

Writing the balanced chemical equation for the following given reaction,

HBr + NaOH ➝ NaBr + H2O

Mass of hydrobromic acid (HBr) = 79.3 g

Mass of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) = 24.0 g

Minimum mass of hydrobromic acid left over by chemical reaction = ?

Note:

molar mass of HBr = 80.91 g/mol

molar mass of NaOH = 40.0 g/mol
