Answer:
0.215 g AgCl produced.
Explanation:
First, the balanced chemical reaction must be written ,
2 AgNO₃ + CaCl₂ ⇒ 2 AgCl + Ca (NO₃) ₂.
- The next step is to calculate the amount of moles of the reagents , for this the molarity is multiplied by the volume in liters:
CaCl₂: 0.15 mol / L * 0.03 L = 0.0045 mol CaCl₂.
AgNO₃: 0.1 mol / L * 0.015 L = 0.0015 mol AgNO₃ .
- The next step is to identify the limiting reagent
For this, the moles of the reagents are divided by their stoichiometric coefficient of the balanced chemical reaction and the lowest value corresponds to the
limiting reagent: CaCl₂: 0.0045 / 1 = 0.0045
AgNO₃: 0.0015 / 2 = 0.00075 ⇒ Limiting reagent.
- The next step is to determine the amount of moles that form from the precipitate, for this the stoichiometric coefficients are used , in this case we have that 2 moles of AgNO₃ produce 2 moles of AgCl, therefore:
0.0015 mol AgNO₃ * (2 mol AgCl / 2 mol AgNO₃) = 0.0015 mol AgCl.
- Finally, the grams are calculated using the molar mass of the AgCl:
0.0015 mol AgCl * (143.32 g / 1 mol)
= 0.215 g AgCl produced.
