Question
Chapter 9, Problem 7A
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The mole ratios that would be used to calculate the moles of Ag2S and H2 for the given moles of Ag reacting needs to be deduced.
Concept Introduction:
- A
chemical reaction is expressed as a chemical equation having reactants and products on left and right side of the reaction arrow respectively. - The coefficient of a balanced chemical equation i.e. the stoichiometry gives the amount of reactants and products involved in the reaction.
- The stoichiometric ratio between the reactants or between reactants and products is expressed in terms of the mole-mole ratio.
Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 7A
Explanation of Solution
The given reaction is:
The balanced equation is:
Based on the reaction stoichiometry:
2 moles of Ag reacts to produce 1 mole of Ag2S and 1 mole of H2. Therefore,
Ag:Ag2S mole-mole ratio =
Ag:H2mole-mole ratio =
Conclusion
Therefore, the mole ratio factor is ½ or 0.5 for both Ag2S and H2.
