Question

Copper metal (Cu) reacts with silver nitrate (AgNO3) in aqueous solution to form Ag and Cu(NO3)2. The balanced chemical equation is shown below. Cu 2AgNO3 Right arrow. Cu(NO3)2 2Ag The molar mass of Cu is 63. 5 g/mol. The molar mass of Ag is 107. 9 g/mol. What mass, in grams, of Ag is produced from a reaction of 31. 75 g of Cu? 26. 95 grams 107. 9 grams 215. 91 grams 431. 82 grams.

Answer 1

107.9 g of Ag is produced from a reaction of 31. 75 gram of Copper.

How we calculate mass from the moles?

Mass of any substance will be calculated from its moles as:

n = W/M, where

W = required mass

M= molar mas

Given chemical reaction is:

Cu + 2AgNO₃ → Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2Ag

From the stoichiometry of the reaction, it is clear that:

1 mole of Cu = produce 2 moles of Ag

Given mass of Cu = 31.75g

Molar mass of Cu = 63.5g/mol

Moles of Cu = 31.75g / 63.5g/mol = 0.5 moles

0.5 moles of Cu = produce 2×0.5 = 1 mole of Ag

Molar mass of Ag = 107.9g/mol

Required mass of Ag = 1mol × 107.9g/mol = 107.9 g

Hence, option (2) is correct i.e. 107.9 g of Ag is produced.
