Calculate the number of moles of silver nitrate : CaCl2 + 2AgNO3 → Ca(NO3)2 + 2AgCl
To calculate the number of moles of silver nitrate:
According to the balanced equation: CaCl2 + 2AgNO3 → Ca(NO3)2 + 2AgCl, 2 moles of AgNO3 react with 1 mole of CaCl2.
This means that the ratio of moles of AgNO3 to moles of CaCl2 is 2:1.
Therefore, if we have "x" moles of CaCl2, we will have 2x moles of AgNO3.
So, the number of moles of AgNO3 is 2x.
