Haylie Kane · Answer 1

Moles = mass / molar mass of the bromine atom

the molar mass of bromine atom is 79.904g/mol

mass=2.60 x10^2

therefore the moles of bromine atom=

2.60 x10^2g / 79.904g/mol = 3.25gmoles (answer 4)

Wesley Hensley · Answer 2

There are 3.25 mol of bromine atoms in 2.60 x 102 grams of bromine. I reached this answer by converting grams to moles. To do this, I divided the number of grams that I have of bromine by the weight of bromine. The weight of bromine is 80 grams. So my equation looks like this when it is all set up: 2.6 x 10^2 g/80g. The answer to the equation is 3.25 mol.
