We will require 23 209 g of #NaBr# and 38 321 g of #AgNO_3#

93.3 lbs is #93.3 xx 454 = 42 358 g#

which must be converted to moles:

#42358 g -: 187.8 g/"mol" = 225.55 "mol"#

(187.8 g is the molar mass of AgBr)

In this quantity, we will have 225.55 mol of #Ag^+# ions and 225.55 mol of #Br^-# ions.

Since the source of each ion is a salt which also contains one ion per formula unit, we will require 225.55 moles of both #AgNO_3# and of #NaBr#

mass of #AgNO_3 = 225.55 "mol" xx 169.9 g/"mol" = 38321 g#

mass of #NaBr = 225.55 "mol" xx 102.9 g/"mol" = 23209 g#
