Determine the number of moles of silver chloride formed when three moles of sodium chloride are reacted completely with silver nitrate
To determine the number of moles of silver chloride formed when three moles of sodium chloride react completely with silver nitrate, we first need to understand the balanced chemical equation for this reaction.
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between sodium chloride (NaCl) and silver nitrate (AgNO3) can be written as follows:
NaCl + AgNO3 → AgCl + NaNO3
From the balanced equation, we can see that one mole of sodium chloride reacts with one mole of silver nitrate to produce one mole of silver chloride and one mole of sodium nitrate.
So, if three moles of sodium chloride are reacted completely, we can expect the formation of three moles of silver chloride.
Therefore, the number of moles of silver chloride formed when three moles of sodium chloride are reacted completely with silver nitrate is three moles.
