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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please anyone help me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is the equation balanced? The answer that I gave assumes that both copper(ii)chloride and silver nitrate have a coefficient of 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes its balanced

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And is the coefficient 1 and 1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So what answer did you get, and does it match your answer sheet?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont have a answer sheet

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you think the answer is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have the answer. But I want you to try it and post your answer. Then'll give you the answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Follow the formula that I gave you above.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what are the step to it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4793.75

OpenStudy (anonymous):

am i right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

169.01 is molar mass

OpenStudy (anonymous):

169.87 sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

27603.87

OpenStudy (anonymous):

am i right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ \frac{ 29.5g }{ Molar mass of Silver Nitrate } = n ...... Grams of Copper(ii) Chloride = n * Molar mass of Copper (ii) Chloride\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

n should be a very small number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.173

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good thats the value of n

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now use that to find grams

OpenStudy (anonymous):

28.11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what was the molar mass that you used for copper (ii) chloride?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

162.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well the molar mass of Copper(II) chloride is 134.45g/mol. try multiplying your n with this number to see what you get.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

23.25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes you're right!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is that my answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in grams

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thxx :)
