Question

How much mass of silver nitrate will react with 5.85 g of sodium chloride to produce 14.35 g of silver chloride and 8.5 g of sodium nitrate if law of conservation of mass is followed?

• A. 22.85g
• B. 108 g
• C. 17.0 g
• D. $28.70g$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

17.0 g

Answer 2

(3) : $\underset{x}{AgNO_{3}} + \underset{5.85g}{NaCl} \rightarrow \underset{8.5g}{NaNO_{3}} + \underset{14.32g}{AgCl}$

$x + 5.85 = 8.5 + 14.35$

x = 17 g
