Question

How much mass of silver nitrate will react with 5.85 g of sodium chloride to produce 14.35 g of silver chloride and 8.5 g of sodium nitrate if law of conservation of mass is followed?​

Answer 1

Answer:

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
