    The balanced equation for the above reaction is as follows

    CaCO₃ + 2HBr - - - > CaBr₂ + CO₂ + H₂O

    stoichiometry of CaCO₃ to HBr is 1:2

    number of moles of CaCO₃ reacted - 5.64 g / 100 g/mol = 0.0564 mol

    according to molar ratio

    number of HBr moles - 0.0564 mol x 2 = 0.1128 mol

    number of HBr moles in 250.0 mL - 0.1128 mol

    therefore number of HBr moles in 1000 mL - 0.1128 mol / 250.0 mL x 1000 mL = 0.4512 mol

    molarity of HBr - 0.4512 M
