### Test Bank, Question 14.120

**Problem Statement:**

Calculate the mass of the precipitate formed when 250. mL of a 0.100 M aqueous solution of silver nitrate reacts with 200. mL of a 0.150 M aqueous solution of sodium chloride.

**Chemical Equation:**
\[ \text{AgNO}_3(aq) + \text{NaCl}(aq) \rightarrow \text{AgCl}(s) + \text{NaNO}_3(aq) \]

**Solution:**

1. Identify the limiting reactant by calculating the moles of each reactant:
   - Moles of \(\text{AgNO}_3\): 
     \[ \text{Molarity} \times \text{Volume (in L)} = 0.100 \, \text{M} \times 0.250 \, \text{L} = 0.025 \, \text{moles} \]
   - Moles of \(\text{NaCl}\):
     \[ \text{Molarity} \times \text{Volume (in L)} = 0.150 \, \text{M} \times 0.200 \, \text{L} = 0.030 \, \text{moles} \]

2. Since \(\text{AgNO}_3\) forms a 1:1 stoichiometric ratio with \(\text{NaCl}\), and \(0.025 \, \text{moles} < 0.030 \, \text{moles}\), \(\text{AgNO}_3\) is the limiting reactant.

3. Calculate the moles of \(\text{AgCl}\) formed, which is equal to the moles of the limiting reactant (\(\text{AgNO}_3\)): 
   \[ \text{Moles of } \text{AgCl} = 0.025 \, \text{moles} \]

4. The molar mass of \(\text{AgCl}\) (Silver chloride) is:
   \[ \text{Ag: } 107.87 \, \text{g/mol} + \text{Cl: } 35.45 \, \text{g/mol} = 143.32 \, \text{g/mol} \
