B. from 52 moles of nitric acid, how many moles of silver nitrate will be produced?
1 answer:
Answer:
39 mol AgNO3
Explanation:
We have the equation 4HNO3 + 3Ag -----> 3AgNO3 + NO + 2H2O
We want to calculate the number of silver nitrate (AgNO3) moles that would be produced from 52 moles of nitric acid ( HNO3 )
We can calculate this by using mole ratio as well as dimensional analysis.
The mole ratio of Silver nitrate to nitric acid based on the balanced equation is 3AgNO3:4HNO3.
Using this we can create a table: The table is attached.
Breakdown of the table.
The moles of nitric acid cancel out and we multiply 52 by 3/4 to get 39 moles of Silver nitrate.
