Question

A solution of silver nitrate containing 1.70 g is mixed with sodium chloride solution , containing 0.585 g, when a white ppt. of silver chloride is formed along with sodium nitrate. If the mass of sodium nitrate formed is 0.85 g, what is the mass of silver chloride formed?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the products in a chemical reaction must equal the mass of the reactants

For the chemical reaction: AgNO
