Answer:
The answer to your question is 1.79 g of H₂O
Explanation:
Data
mass of water = ?
mass of bromine = Br = 15.98 g
Process
1.- Write the balanced chemical reaction
H₂O + Br₂ ⇒ HBr + HBrO
2.- Calculate the molar mass of H₂O and Br₂
H₂O = 2 + 16 = 18 g
Br₂ = 2 x 80 = 160
3.- Use proportions to find the mass of water
18 g of H₂O ----------------- 160 g of Br₂
x ---------------- 15.98 g of Br₂
x = (15.98 x 18) / 160
x = 287.64/160
x = 1.79 g of H₂O
