The reaction below shows how silver chloride can be synthesized.


AgNO3 + NaCl mc017-1.jpg NaNO3 + AgCl


How many moles of silver chloride are produced from 15.0 mol of silver nitrate?


1) 1.0 mol

2) 15.0 mol

3) 30.0 mol

4) 45.0 mol

Respuesta :

[tex]AgNO_{3} _{(aq)} + NaCl_{(aq)} ----\ \textgreater \ NaNO_{3} _{(aq)} + AgCl _{(aq)}[/tex]
mole ration of [tex]AgCl _{(aq)} : AgNO_{3} _{(aq)}[/tex] =  1 : 1

∴ if moles of  [tex]AgNO_{3} _{(aq)} [/tex] =  15.0 mol
then   "      "     [tex]AgCl _{(aq)}[/tex]  =  15.0 mol

 the Option  2 is the answer.

Answer : The correct option is, (2) 15.0 mole

Solution : Given,

Moles of silver nitrate = 15.0 mole

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

[tex]AgNO_3+NaCl\rightarrow NaNO_3+AgCl[/tex]

By the stoichiometry, we conclude that 1 mole of silver nitrate react with 1 mole of sodium chloride to give 1 mole of sodium nitrate and 1 mole of silver chloride.

Th ratio [tex]AgNO_3:AgCl=1:1[/tex]

From the balanced reaction, we conclude that

As, 1 mole of silver nitrate react to give 1 mole of silver chloride

So, 15 moles of silver nitrate react to give 15 moles of silver chloride

Therefore, the number of moles of silver chloride produced are, 15.0 mole
