30 Aug 2021

Question:

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

15 moles of silver chloride will be produced.

Explanation:

We are given:

Moles of silver nitrate = 15 moles

For the given chemical reaction:

AgNO3 + NaCl = NaNO3 + AgCl

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

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

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

Hence, 15 moles of silver chloride will be produced.
