What mass of silver chloride will be recovered if excess sodium chloride is added to 500 mL of solution containing 10.79 g of Ag⁺?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The molar mass of Ag+ is approximately 107.9 g/mol, and the molar mass of AgCl is approximately 143.3 g/mol. The moles of Ag+ in 10.79 g is 10.79 g / 107.9 g/mol = 0.1 mol. Since the reaction between Ag+ and Cl- to form AgCl is a 1:1 ratio, 0.1 mol of AgCl will be formed. The mass of AgCl is 0.1 mol * 143.3 g/mol = 14.33 g, which is closest to 14.3 g.
