How many milliliters of 0.0210 M Na2SO3 solution are needed to dissolve 0.640 g of AgBr?
AgBr(s) + 2Na2SO3(aq) ==> Na3Ag(S2O3)2 (aq) + NaBr(aq) .. balanced equation
mols AgBr present = 0.640 g AgBr x 1 mol AgBr / 187.8 g = 3.41x10-3 mols AgBr
mols Na2SO3 needed = 3.41x10-3 mol AgBr x 2 mol Na2SO3 / mol AgBr = 6.82x10-3 mol Na2SO3
Volume (mls) Na2SO3 needed = 6.82x10-3 mol x 1 L / 0.0210 mol x 1000 ml / L = 325 mls Na2SO3 needed
