The mass of silver chloride, AgCl, that can be produced from the reaction is 2.76 g
We'll begin by calculating the number of mole of silver nitrate, AgNO₃ and calcium chloride, CaCl₂ in the solution.
For AgNO₃:
Volume = 120.0 mL = 120 / 1000 = 0.12 L
Molarity = 0.16 M
Mole of AgNO₃ =?
Mole = Molarity x Volume
Mole of AgNO₃ = 0.16 × 0.12
Mole of AgNO₃ = 0.0192 mole
For CaCl₂:
Volume = 120.0 mL = 120 / 1000 = 0.12 L
Molarity = 0.22 M
Mole of CaCl₂ =?
Mole = Molarity x Volume
Mole of CaCl₂ = 0.22 × 0.12
Mole of CaCl₂ = 0.0264 mole
- Next, we shall determine the limiting reactant
2AgNO₃ + CaCl₂ —> 2AlCl + Ca(NO₃)₂
From the balanced equation above,
2 moles of AgNO₃ reacted with 1 mole of CaCl₂.
Therefore,
0.0192 mole of AgNO₃ will react with = 0.0192 / 2 = 0.0096 mole of CaCl₂
From the calculation made above, we can see that only 0.0096 mole of CaCl₂ out of 0.0264 mole given, is needed to react completely with 0.0192 mole of AgNO₃.
Therefore, AgNO₃ is the limiting reactant and CaCl₂ is the excess reactant.
- Next, we shall determine the number of mole of AgCl produced from the reaction using the limiting reactant.
2AgNO₃ + CaCl₂ —> 2AlCl + Ca(NO₃)₂
From the balanced equation above,
2 moles of AgNO₃ reacted to produce 2 moles of AlCl.
Therefore,
0.0192 mole of AgNO₃ will also react to produce = 0.0192 mole of AgCl
- Finally, we shall determine the mass of AgCl produced from the reaction
Mole of AgCl = 0.0192 mole
Molar mass of AgCl = 108 + 35.5 = 143.5 g/mol
Mass of AgCl =?
Mass = mole × molar mass
Mass of AgCl = 0.0192 × 143.5
Mass of AgCl = 2.76 g
Thus, the mass of AgCl produced from the reaction is 2.76 g
