If we are talking about moles then the answer to that is 0.22
The balanced chemical reaction:
<span>Cu + 2AgNO3 = Cu(NO3)2 + 2Ag
</span>
We are given the amount of the reactants to be used for the reaction. These values will be the starting point of our calculations.
9.85 g Cu ( 1 mol Cu / 63.55 g Cu ) = 0.15 mol Cu
31.0 g AgNO3 ( 1 mol AgNO3 / 169.87 g AgNO3 ) = 0.18 mol AgNO3
The limiting reactant is AgNO3.
0.18 mol AgNO3 ( 1 mol Cu(NO3)2 / 2 mol AgNO3 ) (187.56 g / 1 mol) =16.88 g Cu(NO3)2
0.15 mol Cu - 0.18 mol AgNO3 ( 1 mol Cu / 2 mol AgNo3) = 0.06 mol Cu excess
<span>0.06 mol Cu ( 63.55 g Cu / 1 mol Cu ) = 3.81 g Cu excess</span>
<span>The periodic table of elements arranges all of the known chemical elements in an informative array. Elements are arranged from left to right and top to bottom inorder of increasing atomic number.
