    Molarity Volume
Click For Summary
To determine the volume of 0.0138 M Na2S2O3 needed to dissolve 0.250 g of AgBr, the molarity definition and conversions are applied. The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is AgBr (s) + Na2S2O3 (aq) → Na3Ag(S2O3)2 (aq) + NaBr (aq). The calculated volume is approximately 194 mL, although one participant arrived at 193 mL due to variations in molar mass used. This discrepancy highlights the importance of consistent values in calculations. Accurate molar mass and conversion factors are essential for precise results in chemistry.

Homework Statement



In the photographic process silver bromide is dissolved by adding sodium thiosulfate. Determine the volume in mL of 0.0138 M Na2S2O3 should be added to dissolve 0.250 g of AgBr.

Homework Equations



The equation is : AgBr (s) + Na2S2O3 (aq) → Na3Ag(S2O3)2 (aq) + NaBr (aq)

The Attempt at a Solution



I know your supposed to use the definition of molarity and do some conversions, but it would never turn out right. The answer sheet says the answer is 194 mL.

Thanks everyone

Show how you are doing it. I got 193 mL - most likely because of the slightly different molar masses used.
