Answer:
The molarity of the original AgNO3 solution is 0.2529 M
Explanation:
<u>Step 1:</u> The balanced equation
AgNO3 + NaCL → AgCl + NaNO3
This means that for 1 mole of AgNO3 consumed, 1 mole of NaCL will be consumed, to produce 1 mole of AgCL and 1 mole of NaNO3
<u>Step 2</u>: Calculating moles of AgCl
Moles of AgCl = mass of AgCL / Molar mass of AgCL
moles of AgCl = 2.61 grams / 143.32g/mole
moles of AgCl = 0.01821 moles
<u>Step 3:</u> Calculating moles of AgNO3
Since there is consumed 1 mole of AgNO3 to produce 1 mole of AgCl, this means that if there is produced 0.01821 moles of AgCl, there is consumed also 0.01821 moles of AgNO3
<u>Step 4:</u> Calculating molarity of AgNO3
Molarity of AgNO3 = moles of AgNO3 / volume of AgNO3
Molarity of AgNO3 = 0.01821 moles/ 0.072 L = 0.2529 M = 0.2529 mol/L
The molarity of the original AgNO3 solution is 0.2529 M
