(d)

Answer to Problem 5E
The mass of silver chloride is 5.317 g.
The mass of sodium nitrate is 3.15 g.
Explanation of Solution
The chemical reaction is shown below.
The product of the given reaction is silver chloride
The mass of silver nitrate is 6.3 g. The molar mass of silver nitrate is 169.87 g/mol. The number of moles of silver nitrate is calculated as shown below.
The mass of sodium chloride (NaCl) is 4.5 g. The molar mass of sodium chloride (NaCl) is 58.44 g/mol. The number of moles of NaCl is calculated as shown below.
In the given reaction, 1.0 mol of silver nitrate reacts with 1.0 mol of sodium chloride. Therefore, 0.077 mol of sodium chloride will react with 0.077 mol of silver nitrate but the available amount is 0.0371 mol of silver nitrate. Therefore, silver nitrate is the limiting reagent.
From the given balanced given reaction, 1.0 mol of silver nitrate produces 1.0 mol of silver chloride. Therefore, 0.0371 mol of silver nitrate will produce 0.0371 mol of silver chloride.
The molar mass of silver chloride is 143.32 g/mol. The mass of silver chloride is calculated as shown below.
In the given reaction, 1.0 mol of silver nitrate produces 1.0 mol of silver chloride. Therefore, 0.0371 mol of silver nitrate will produce 0.0371 mol of sodium nitrate.
The molar mass of sodium nitrate is 85.0 g/mol. The mass of sodium nitrate is calculated as shown below.
