Detailed Solution

The given reaction is not balanced. The number of atoms in both sides are not equal.Consider balanced reaction;

Cl2g + 2KBrs 2 KCls + Br2g
From two mole of potassium bromide, two mole potassium chloride is produced. In terms of molar mass, from 119 g KBr, 74.5 g KCl is formed. Given; 300 g potassium bromide as reactant. Then the number of moles of KBr is;

Given massmolar mass=300119=2.52 mols


2.52 moles of KCl is also formed. The mass of KCl formed is;

no. of mols×molar mass=2.52×74.5=187.8188 g

188 g of potassium chloride is formed.
