What is the mass of precipitate formed when 50 mL of 16.9% solution of AgNO3 is mixed with 50 mL of 5.8% NaCl solution?
(Ag = 107.8, N = 14, O = 16, Na= 23,Cl=35.5)
Plan: For the calculation of mass of AgCl precipitated, we find mass of AgNO3 and NaCl in equal volume with the help of mole concept.
16.9% solution of AgNO3 means 16.9 g AgNO3 is present in 100 mL solution.
8.45 g AgNO3 will present in 50 mL solution
Similarly,
5.8 g NaCl is present in 100 mL solution
2.9 g NaCl is present in 50 mL solution
AgNO3 + NaCl AgCl + NaNO3
Initial mole 8.45/169.8 2.9/58.5 0 0
= 0.049 = 0.049
After reaction 0 0 0.049 0.049
Mass of AgCl precipitated
= 0.049 x 143.5= 7g
