The mass of silver that can be prepared from 2.10 g of copper metal are 7.128 grams of Ag


calculation

Cu(s) + 2AgNO3 (aq) → Cu(NO3)2 +2 Ag (s)

find the moles of Cu

= mass/ molar mass

= 2.10 g / 63.5 g/mol = 0.033 moles


Use the mole ratio to determine the moles of Ag

The mole ratio of Cu : Ag is 1:2 therefore the moles of Ag = 0.033 x2=0.066 moles


mass of Ag = moles x molar mass

= 0.066 moles x 108 g/mol = 7.128 grams of Ag
