SUMMARY

The discussion centers on calculating the volume of 0.0138 M sodium thiosulfate (Na2S2O3) required to dissolve 0.250 g of silver bromide (AgBr). The relevant chemical equation is AgBr (s) + Na2S2O3 (aq) → Na3Ag(S2O3)2 (aq) + NaBr (aq). Participants confirmed that the correct volume is approximately 194 mL, with minor discrepancies attributed to variations in molar mass calculations. The consensus emphasizes the importance of precise molar mass values in achieving accurate results.

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.
