Chemical Reaction: Synthesizing Silver Chloride

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

1) 1.0 mol

2) 15.0 mol

3) 30.0 mol

4) 45.0 mol

Answer: The correct option is, (2) 15.0 mole

Solution:

Given that the moles of silver nitrate is 15.0 mole.

The balanced chemical reaction is:

AgNO₃ + NaCl → NaNO₃ + AgCl

Since the mole ratio of AgCl to AgNO₃ is 1:1, if 15.0 mol of AgNO₃ is used, then 15.0 mol of AgCl is produced.

Therefore, the answer is 15.0 mol of silver chloride.
