Agno3 + nacl mc017-1.jpg nano3 + agcl

how many moles of silver chloride are produced from 15.0 mol of silver nitrate?

The balanced reaction is:

 AgNO3 + NaCl = NaNO3 + AgCl

 We are given the amount of silver nitrate to react with sodium chloride. This will be our starting point.

 15.0 mol AgNO3 (1 mol AgCl / 1 mol AgNO3 ) =15.0 mol AgCl

The amount of moles produced is the same with the amount of the given reactant since they only one is to one ratio.

15 moles of silver chloride will be produced.

Explanation:

We are given:

Moles of silver nitrate = 15 moles

For the given chemical reaction:

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of silver nitrate produces 1 mole of silver chloride.

So, 15 moles of silver nitrate will produce = of silver chloride.

Hence, 15 moles of silver chloride will be produced.
