Sodium thiosulfate (photographer’s hypo) reacts
with unexposed silver bromide in film
emulsion to form sodium bromide and a soluble
compound of formula Na3[Ag(S2O3)2]:
2 Na2S2O3(aq) + AgBr(s) →
NaBr(aq) + Na3[Ag(S2O3)2](aq)
How many moles of Na2S2O3 are needed to
react with 8.5 mg of AgBr?
Answer in units of mol.
PART 2
Calculate the mass of silver bromide that will
produce 0.027 mol Na3[Ag(S2O3)2].
Answer in units of g.

Verified answer
(8.5 × 10^-3 g AgBr) / (187.7722 g AgBr/mol) × (2 mol Na2S2O3 / 1 mol AgBr) = 9.1 × 10^-5 mol Na2S2O3
PART 2:
(0.027 mol Na3[Ag(S2O3)2]) x (1 mol AgBr / 1 mol Na3[Ag(S2O3)2]) x (187.7722 g AgBr/mol) = 5.1 g AgBr
