Question

If 6.50 grams of copper metal were to react with a 120 mL of 0.731 M solution of silver nitrate, how many grams of silver could be produced? The other product is copper (II) nitrate.

Expert Solution

Step 1

The reactants reacting are silver nitrate i.e AgNO₃ and copper i.e Cu to produce copper (II) nitrate i.e Cu(NO₃)₂ and silver i.e Ag.

Hence the reaction can be written as,

=> AgNO₃ + Cu -------> Cu(NO₃)₂ + Ag

Balancing : Since we have 2 N in RHS. Hence making it 2 in LHS also.

=> 2 AgNO₃ + Cu -------> Cu(NO₃)₂ + Ag

Now we have 2 Ag in LHS. Hence making it 2 in RHS also.

=> 2 AgNO₃ + Cu -------> Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2 Ag

Since all the elements are in equal number in both side of the reaction now.

Hence the above reaction is now balanced.
