Question

Consider the following reaction. Zn(s) 2agno3(aq) --> 2ag(s) zn(no3)2(aq)when 16. 2 g of silver was produced, _____ mole(s) of silver nitrate would be required

Answer 1

The required amount of silver nitrate to produce 16.2g of silver is 25.48 grams.

What is the relation between mass & moles?

Relation between the mass and moles of any substance will be represented as:

n = W/M, where

• W = given mass
• M = molar mass

Moles of silver = 16.2g / 107.8g/mol = 0.15mol

From the stoichiometry of the given reaction it is clear that, same moles of silver nitrate is required to produce same moles of silver. So 0.15 moles of silver nitrate is required.

Mass of silver nitrate = (0.15mol)(169.87g/mol) = 25.48g

Hence required mass of silver nitrate is 25.48g.
