We will require 23 209 g of NaBr and 38 321 g of AgNO3

Explanation:

93.3 lbs is 93.3×454=42358g

which must be converted to moles:

42358g÷187.8gmol=225.55mol

(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 AgNO3 and of NaBr

mass of AgNO3=225.55mol×169.9gmol=38321g

mass of NaBr=225.55mol×102.9gmol=23209g
