How many moles of silver chloride are produced from 15.0 mol of silver nitrate?

A. 1.0 mol
B. 15.0 mol
C. 30.0 mol
D. 45.0 mol



Answer :

To determine how many moles of silver chloride ([tex]\( \text{AgCl} \)[/tex]) are produced from 15.0 moles of silver nitrate ([tex]\( \text{AgNO}_3 \)[/tex]), we need to analyze the balanced chemical equation:

[tex]\[ \text{AgNO}_3 + \text{NaCl} \rightarrow \text{NaNO}_3 + \text{AgCl} \][/tex]

From the balanced equation, we see that the reaction is a 1:1 stoichiometric ratio between silver nitrate ([tex]\( \text{AgNO}_3 \)[/tex]) and silver chloride ([tex]\( \text{AgCl} \)[/tex]). This means:

1. For every 1 mole of [tex]\( \text{AgNO}_3 \)[/tex] reacting, 1 mole of [tex]\( \text{AgCl} \)[/tex] is produced.

Given that we have 15.0 moles of [tex]\( \text{AgNO}_3 \)[/tex]:

- The number of moles of [tex]\( \text{AgCl} \)[/tex] produced will be the same as the number of moles of [tex]\( \text{AgNO}_3 \)[/tex] used.

Therefore, from 15.0 moles of silver nitrate, we will produce 15.0 moles of silver chloride.

Hence, the answer is [tex]\( 15.0 \)[/tex] moles.
