Silver chloride produced : = 46.149 g
Limiting reagent : CuCl2
Excess remains := 3.74 g
Further explanation
Reaction
silver nitrate + copper(II) chloride ⇒ silver chloride + copper(II) nitrate
Required
silver chloride produced
limiting reagent
excess remains
Solution
Balanced equation
2AgNO3 (aq) + CuCl2 (s) → 2AgCl(s) + Cu(NO3)2(aq)
mol AgNO3 :
= 58.5 : 169,87 g/mol
= 0.344
mol CuCl2 :
=21.7 : 134,45 g/mol
= 0.161
mol ratio : coefficient of AgNO3 : CuCl2 :
= 0.344/2 : 0.161/1
= 0.172 : 0.161
CuCl2 as a limiting reagent
mol AgCl :
= 2/1 x 0.161
= 0.322
Mass AgCl :
= 0.322 x 143,32 g/mol
= 46.149 g
mol remains(unreacted) for AgNO3 :
= 0.344-(2/1 x 0.161)
= 0.022
mass AgNO3 remains :
= 0.022 x 169,87 g/mol
= 3.74 g
