Copper metal (Cu) reacts with silver nitrate (AgNO3) in aqueous solution to form Ag and Cu(NO3)2. An excess of AgNO3 is present.

The balanced chemical equation is shown below.
Cu + 2AgNO3 mc021-1.jpg Cu(NO3)2 + 2Ag

The molar mass of Cu is 63.5 g/mol. The molar mass of Ag is 107.9 g/mol. What mass, in grams, of Ag is produced from reaction of 31.75 g of Cu?
a.26.95
b.107.9
c.215.91
d.431.82

Answer : The correct option is, (B) 107.9 grams

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of Cu.

\text{Moles of }Cu=\frac{\text{Mass of }Cu}{\text{Molar mass of }Cu}=\frac{31.75g}{63.5g/mole}=0.5moles

Now we have to calculate the moles of Ag.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

Cu+2AgNO_3\rightarrow Cu(NO_3)_2+2Ag

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 1 mole of Cu react to give 2 mole of Ag

So, 0.5 mole of Cu react to give 0.5\times 2=1 mole of Ag

Now we have to calculate the mass of Ag

\text{Mass of }Ag=\text{Moles of }Ag\times \text{Molar mass of }Ag

\text{Mass of }Ag=(1mole)\times (107.9g/mole)=107.9g

Therefore, the mass of Ag produced is, 107.9 grams

Stoichiometry time! Remember to look at the equation for your molar ratios in other problems.

31.75 g Cu | 1 mol Cu | 2 mol Ag | 107.9 g Ag         6851.65
⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻   →   ⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻  = 107.9 g Ag
       ∅        | 63.5 g Cu | 1 mol Cu | 1 mol Ag              63.5


There's also a shorter way to do this: Notice the molar ratio from Cu to Ag, which is 1:2. When you plug in 31.75 into your molar mass for Cu, it equals 1/2 mol. That also means that you have 1 mol Ag because of the ratio, qhich you can then plug into your molar mass, getting 107.9 as well.

<h2>Hey There!</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Answer:</h2><h2>----------------------------------------------------------------------</h2><h2>ELECTROPLATING </h2>

Electroplating the plating one metal on to the another metal, It is mostly used for preventing corrosion by using copper or chromium or decorate the object by using gold or silver plating.

__________________________________________________________

<h3>Principle:</h3>

When electricity is passed the thin layer of metal is deposited on another metal and water molecule given out as a By-Product, Thus this process works on the principle of Hydrolysis.

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>QUESTION:</h2>

A) Electrolysis

B) Chromium prevents corrosion and gives the fine shining touch to the objects.

C) The metal which is deposited to the object i.e. spoon will be connected to the positive electrode of a battery, Thus it is anode. The spoon at which electroplating is need to be done is connected to the negative electrode, thus the Spoon is cathode.

How do you find the pressure in a container if you don't have the temperature? 
BARSIC [14]
It depends on the process.
Like for example if the process is isothermal(temperature is constant), you can use,
PV = constant or P1V1 = P2V2 where P1V1 are initial conditions and P2V2 are final.


For adiabatic process,

PV^gamma = constant or P1V1 ^gamma = P2V2 ^gamma.

where gamma = Cp
                          ------
                           Cv
Cp = specific heat at constant pressure and Cv = specific at constant volume.

Value of Gamma will be given in question.
Hope this helps!
