Question
How many moles of KBrO₃ are required to prepare 0.0700 moles of Br₂ according to the reaction: KBrO₃ + 5KBr + 6HNO₃ → 6KNO₃ + 3Br₂ + 3H₂O
Correct Answer
Option D is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
From the balanced equation, 1 mol KBrO₃ produces 3 mol Br₂. Moles KBrO₃ needed = 0.0700 mol Br₂ × (1 mol KBrO₃ / 3 mol Br₂) = 0.02333 mol.
Hint
Use the mole ratio from the balanced equation.
