A sample of 11.7 moles of silver bromide is reacted with 8.6 moles of sodium thiosulfate to produce
sodium silver thiosulfate and sodium bromide. Using
the balanced equation below, predict which is the
limiting reactant and the maximum amount in moles
of sodium bromide that can be produced.
AgBr + 2Na2S2O3 + Na3Ag(S203)2 + NaBr
A. sodium thiosulfate, 4.30 moles
B. sodium thiosulfate, 8.60 moles
C. sodium bromide, 5.85 moles
D. sodium bromide, 11.7 moles
