Mass of AgNO3 in 50 mL of 16.9% (w/v) solution = 10016.9×50=8.45 g.
Molar mass of AgNO3=107.8+14+(16×3)=169.8 g/mol.
Moles of AgNO3=169.88.45≈0.0497 mol.
Mass of NaCl in 50 mL of 5.8% (w/v) solution = 1005.8×50=2.9 g.
Molar mass of NaCl=23+35.5=58.5 g/mol.
Moles of NaCl=58.52.9≈0.0495 mol.
The balanced chemical equation is:
AgNO3+NaCl→AgCl↓+NaNO3
From the stoichiometry, 1 mole of AgNO3 reacts with 1 mole of NaCl. Here, the moles of NaCl (0.0495 mol) are slightly less than the moles of AgNO3 (0.0497 mol), making NaCl the limiting reagent.
Moles of AgCl precipitate formed = Moles of NaCl reacted = 0.0495 mol.
Molar mass of AgCl=107.8+35.5=143.3 g/mol.
Mass of AgCl formed = Moles × Molar mass = 0.0495 mol×143.3 g/mol≈7.09 g≈7 g.
