Question

Silver chloride, often used in silver plating, contains 75.27%Ag. Calculate the mass of silver chloride required to plate 195 mgmg of pure silver.

Answer 1

Answer:

259 mg is the mass of silver chloride required to plate 195 mg of pure silver.

Explanation:

Silver chloride contains 75.27 percent silver. It can be concluded that:-

For every 100 mg of silver chloride, 75.27 mg of silver we can get.

So, to produce 195 mg of silver, the amount of silver chloride required can be calculated as:-

$Mass=\frac{100\times 195}{75.27}\ mg=259\ mg$

259 mg is the mass of silver chloride required to plate 195 mg of pure silver.
