How many grams of Br2 are needed to completely convert 15.0 g Al to AlBr3 ? Al (s) + Br2 (l) --> AlBr3 (hint: the equation is not balanced) First step is to balance the equation: 2 Al(s) + 3 Br?(l) ? 2 AlBr?(s) The second step is the calculation of moles corresponding to 15.0 g of Al The molar mass of aluminum is 26.98 g/mol. The moles corresponding to 15.0 g of Al are: 15.0g × 1mol/26.98g = 0.556 moles The third step is the calculation of moles of Br? that react with 0.556 moles of Al The molar ratio of Al to Br2 is 2:3 based on the balanced equation. The moles of bromine that react with 0.556 moles of aluminum are: 0.556 moles × 3 mol Br2 / 2 mol Al= 0.834 mol Br2
