How many moles of lithium chloride will be formed by the reaction of chlorine with 0.046 mol of lithium bromide in the following reaction?

2LiBr(aq) + Cl2(g) → 2LiCl(aq) + Br2(l) ans: 0.046 mol LiCl

The answer is 0.046 mol.

Explanation:

By looking at the balanced equation, you can form a ratio of lithium chloride and lithium bromide using the coefficient value :

ratio of lithium bromide (2LiBr)

= 2

ratio of lithium chloride (2LiCl)

= 2

So the ratio is 2 : 2 then simplify into 1 : 1 . Which means that 1 mol of lithium bromide is equal to 1 mole of lithium chloride.

In this case, 0.046 mol of lithium bromide will form 0.046 mol of lithium chloride.
