Cu + 2AgNO_3 \rightarrow 2Ag + Cu(NO_3)_2 How many grams of \text{Ag} will be produced from 5.00 g of Cu and 1 .00 g of AgNO₃?

Question

`Cu + 2AgNO_3 \rightarrow 2Ag + Cu(NO_3)_2`

How many grams of \text{Ag} will be produced from 5.00 g of Cu and 1 .00 g of AgNO₃?

Answer 1

0.635 g

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have to find the limiting reagent. Convert Cu and AgNo₃ to moles. You should get 0.0786 moles of Cu and 0.00589 moles of AgNO₃.

AgNO₃ has the least amount of moles making it the limiting reagent.

Then, we use stoichiometry to find how many moles of Ag can be made with our limiting reagent. Based on the chemical equation, for every 2 moles of AgNO₃, you will get 2 moles of Ag.

This means that you should get 0.00589 moles of Ag.

Convert moles to grams. You should get 0.6349958... grams.
