Concept explainers
A single-replacement reaction occurs between copper and silver nitrate. When 63.5 g of copper reacts with 339.8 g of silver nitrate, 215.8 g of silver is produced. Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction. What other product formed? What is the mass of the second product?
Interpretation:
The balanced chemical reaction for the reaction between copper and silver nitrate needs to be determined. The other product and its mass also need to be calculated.
Concept introduction:
For balancing an equation first write the skeleton equation. After that count the atoms of both side, count each polyatomic ion as a single element. Find the correct coefficient and placed them in front of the atoms and checked both side element equal or not.
Answer to Problem 125A
The balance equation is
Mass of the
Explanation of Solution
Now, the skeleton equations for copper and silver nitrate is as follows:
In reactant side, number of Cu is 1, Ag is 1, N is 1 and oxygen atom is 3 while in product side number of Ag is 1, Cu is 1, N is 2 and oxygen is 6. To balance N and O in both sides give coefficient 2 to
Calculate mass of the
Given,
Therefore, mass of the
The balance equation is
Mass of the
