Typo on L.35

[Wendy 1E]

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!

This is a lifesaver--I was very confused while reading this problem. Thank you for the clarification!

I hadn't seen this post so I was about to ask a question related to yours, but thank you so much for clarifying things!

By the way, there is a section on Dr. Lavelle's website for chem 14a that is titled "Solution Manual Errors 7th Edition" which lists all the errors in the solution manual.
