Typo on L.35
Posted: Tue Oct 01, 2019 8:36 pm
Hey everyone!
Homework problem L.35 states, "Sodium bromide, NaBr, which is used to produce AgBr for use in photographic film, can itself be prepared as follows:
Fe + Br2 --> FeBr2
FeBr2 + Br2 --> Fe3Br8
FeBr2 + Na2CO3 --> NaBr + CO2 + Fe3O4
What mass of iron, in kilograms, is needed to produce 2.50 t of NaBr? Note that these equations must first be balanced!"
I noticed a typo here when I was trying to balance the equations. FeBr2 should read Fe3Br2. I hope this is useful for anyone else that encounters this problem!
