FAQ

What is the molar mass of Br?

M(Br) = 79.904 g/mol

Why is the molar mass of bromine 79.904 and not 160?

79.904 g/mol is the mass of one mole of Br atoms. Elemental bromine is made of Br₂ molecules: M(Br₂) = 2 × 79.904 = 159.808 g/mol (160 in school problems); in SI units, 0.159808 kg/mol. In a problem about the gas, the molar mass of bromine is usually M(Br₂).

How many grams are in 2 moles of Br?

m = n × M = 2 mol × 79.904 g/mol = 159.808 g.
