A chemical supplier has requested from your laboratory a sample of AgCl(s) to be shipped out as soon as possible and they are willing to pay $33 per gram, a price significantly higher than the current market value because of its current supply and demand. Your inventory of the chemicals needed to prepare this compound is low and you find bottles containing only 43.4 g of AgNO3 and 135.8 g NaCl. Describe the amounts of these reactants you would mix together and how much
A chemical supplier has requested from your laboratory a sample of AgCl(s) to be shipped out as soon as possible and they are willing to pay $33 per gram, a price significantly higher than the current market value because of its current supply and demand. Your inventory of the chemicals needed to prepare this compound is low and you find bottles containing only 43.4 g of AgNO3 and 135.8 g NaCl. Describe the amounts of these reactants you would mix together and how much silver chloride you will be able to provide, and the price you will charge, assuming your percent yield is 95%. You may assume that AgNO3 and NaCl are completely soluble in water and that the product, AgCl(s), is completely insoluble in water and can be isolated by filtration.
AgNO3 + NaCl → AgCl(s) + NaNO3
