Medal According to the following reaction, how many grams of copper(II) chloride are required for the complete reaction of 29.5 grams of silver nitrate? silver nitrate (aq) + copper(II) chloride (s) silver chloride (s) + copper(II) nitrate (aq) ? grams copper(II) chloride
please anyone help me
29.5g/Molar mass of Silver Nitrate = n. Assuming that silver nirate is the limiting reactant. multiply n by the molar mass of copper(II) chloride. then you'll have grams of copper(II) chloride
Is the equation balanced? The answer that I gave assumes that both copper(ii)chloride and silver nitrate have a coefficient of 1
yes its balanced
And is the coefficient 1 and 1?
yes
So what answer did you get, and does it match your answer sheet?
i dont have a answer sheet
what do you think the answer is
I have the answer. But I want you to try it and post your answer. Then'll give you the answer.
Follow the formula that I gave you above.
okay
what are the step to it
29.5g/Molar mass of Silver Nitrate = n. Assuming that silver nirate is the limiting reactant. multiply n by the molar mass of copper(II) chloride. then you'll have grams of copper(II) chloride
4793.75
am i right?
Try again. So it'll be 29.5 (divided by ) Molar mass of silver nitrate, which will give us moles of silver nitrate. Since the coefficient is 1 to , we multiply it by 1(which doesn't make a difference to our answer), then we can multiply the moles of silver nitrate by molar mass of copper(ii) chloride, which will give us grams of copper (ii) chloride. try this method and post your answer
169.01 is molar mass
169.87 sorry
yes, so plug that into the equation and find moles and then multiply by molar mass of copper(ii)chloride. continue you're almost there!
27603.87
am i right
\[ \frac{ 29.5g }{ Molar mass of Silver Nitrate } = n ...... Grams of Copper(ii) Chloride = n * Molar mass of Copper (ii) Chloride\]
n should be a very small number
0.173
Good thats the value of n
Now use that to find grams
28.11
what was the molar mass that you used for copper (ii) chloride?
162.5
well the molar mass of Copper(II) chloride is 134.45g/mol. try multiplying your n with this number to see what you get.
23.25
Yes you're right!
so is that my answer?
Yes
in grams
