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

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 3 +NaCI → NaNO3 +AgCI

m reactant =m products

m AgNO 3 +m NNaCl =m NaNO3. + m 3AgCl

x+5.85=8.5+14.35

x=17.0 g

here m represents mass...
