24 g sodium chloride are dissolved in 50 mL water.
42 g silver nitrate are dissolved in 50 mL water.
These solutions are mixed together
1) What type of compounds are sodium chloride and silver nitrate?
2) What type of chemical reaction occurs when the solutions are mixed?
3) Which reactant is limiting?
4) What is the maximum mass of product that can form (exclude water)?
2. double displacement
3. NaCl + AgNO3 ==> AgCl + NaNO3
mols NaCl = g/molar mass = 24/58.5 = 0.41
mols AgNO3 = 42/169.9 = 0.247
So AgNO3 is the limiting reagent.
4. 0.247 mols AgNO3 will form 0.247 mols AgCl.
gramsAgCl formed = mols AgCl x molar mass AgCl = ?
Post your work if you get stuck.
