The Atomic Mass of boron is 10.811 while that of bromine is 79.904. Thus the ratio of the mass of bromine to the total mass of boron tribromide must be:

3(79.904)/[3(79.904) + 10.811] = 0.9568. The required mass of BBr3 thus is 11.8/0.9568 = 12.3 g, to the justified number of significant digits.

What is the relation of bromine No and Diene value?

There isn't a direct correlation. Bromine Number is a measure of the amount of olefins in a sample. Diene Valve is a measure of the conjugated diolefins in a sample. In hydrocarbons, samples with high Diene Value also tend to have high Brominie numbers as a result of processing in a hydorgen deficient atmosphere.

Which sample contains the greatest number of atoms a sample of Mn that contains 3.29E plus 24 atoms or a 5.18 mole sample of you?

Which sample contains the greatest number of atoms. A sample of Mn that contains 3.29E+24 atoms or a 5.18 mole sample of I?The sample of _____ contains the greatest number of atoms.Answer:In order to compare the two samples, it is necessary to express both quantities in the same units. Since the question was phrased in terms of atoms, it is convenient to convert moles of I to atoms of I.The conversion factor between atoms and moles is Avogadro's number: 6.02 x 1023 "things" / molTo convert 5.18 moles of I to atoms of I:atoms I= 5.18 mol I6.02 x 1023 atoms I = 3.12E+24 atoms I1 mol IMultiply by atoms per mole. Moles cancel out.The sample of Mn contains 3.29E+24 atoms.Since 3.12E+24 is smaller than 3.29E+24, the sample of Mn contains the greatest number of atoms.
