What mass of silver is produced from 100g cu

Question:

Calculate the mass of silver metal {eq}\rm (Ag) {/eq} produced from the reaction of {eq}5.58 {/eq} grams of copper metal {eq}\rm (Cu) {/eq} according to the following reaction: {eq}\rm Cu(s) + 2AgNO_3(aq) \to Cu(NO_3)_2(aq) + 2Ag(s) {/eq}.

Molar Ratio:

The molar ratio between substances depicts the ratio that provides a conversion factor to determine the number of moles of one substance that corresponds to another in a given chemical reaction or formula. The molar ratio is simply the ratio between the coefficients of the involved substances in a given balanced chemical reaction.

Answer and Explanation: 1

Determine the mass of silver metal, {eq}\displaystyle m_{Ag} {/eq}, from the given amount of copper metal, by multiplying the given the mass of Cu,...

Explanation:

The reaction is:

#Cu(s)+AgNO_3(aq)->Ag(s)+CuNO_3(aq)#

Since the silver nitrate is in excess, then copper is the limiting reactant , and therefore, its mass will be used to calculate the mass of silver that will form:

#?gAg=40.0cancel(gCu)xx(cancel(1molCu))/(63.5cancel(gCu))xx(1cancel(molAg))/(1cancel(molCu))xx(107.9Ag)/(1cancel(molAg))=68.0gAg#

Write the balanced equation:

Cu(s) + 2AgNO3(aq) ==> Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2Ag(s)

moles Cu present = 100. g Cu x 1 mol Cu/63.55 g = 1.574 moles Cu

mass of Ag produced = 1.574 mol Cu x 2 mol Ag / 1 mol Cu x 107.9 g Ag / mol Ag = 340. g Ag

What is the molar mass of AgNO3?

169.87 g/mol

What is the percent yield of the reaction if 71.5 grams of Ag was obtained from 132.5 grams of AgNO3?

Answer: The percent yield of the reaction, if 71.5g of Ag was obtained from 132.5g of AgNO₃, is 84.97%. molar mass of AgNO₃ = 107.87 + 14.01 + 3×16 = 169.88g/mol.
