Chemical Reaction: Synthesizing Silver Chloride
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
Answer: The correct option is, (2) 15.0 mole
Solution:
Given that the moles of silver nitrate is 15.0 mole.
The balanced chemical reaction is:
AgNO₃ + NaCl → NaNO₃ + AgCl
Since the mole ratio of AgCl to AgNO₃ is 1:1, if 15.0 mol of AgNO₃ is used, then 15.0 mol of AgCl is produced.
Therefore, the answer is 15.0 mol of silver chloride.
