Question

If 37.5 mL of 0.100 M calcium chloride reacts completely with aqueous silver nitrate, what is the mass of AgCl (MM

Answer 1

Answer:

OPTION C is correct

C) 1.07 g

Explanation:

CaCl2(aq) + 2 AgNO3(aq) → 2 AgCl(s) + Ca(NO3)3(aq)

But we know molarity molarity= number of moles of solute/ volume of the solution

M= n/V

From the equation above

number of moles of Cacl2 = (37.5 ×0 .100 × 10^-3) = 0.00375 moles.

Then

1 mole of Cacl2 yields 2 moles of Agcl2

0.00375 moles of Cacl2 will produce let say Y.

Y= (0.00375 ×2)/1

= 0.0075 moles.

Number of moles of Agcl2 = mass /molar mass of Agcl

Molar mass of Agcl = 178

Then mass = 178 ×0.0075 = 1.047

Therefore, the mass of agcl precipitate is

1.07 g
