Question

When a 2.00-g strip of zinc metal is placed in an aqueous solution containing 2.50 g of silver nitrate, the reaction is
Zn(s) + 2 AgNO3(aq) 2 Ag(s) + Zn(NO3)2(aq)

(a) Which reactant is limiting? (b) How many grams of Ag form? (c) How many grams of Zn(NO3)2 form? (d) How many grams of the excess reactant are left at the end of the reaction?

Answer 1

Explanation:

When a 2.00-g strip of zinc metal is placed in an aqueous solution containing 2.50 g of silver nitrate, the reaction is

Zn(s) + 2 AgNO3(aq) 2 Ag(s) + Zn(NO3)2(aq)

(a) Which reactant is limiting? (b) How many grams of Ag form? (c) How many grams of Zn(NO3)2 form? (d) How many grams of the excess reactant are left at the end of the reaction?

Answer 2

Answer:

a) AgNO3 is the limiting reactant b) 1.62 grams of Ag forms c)1.42 grams of zinc nitrate form c) 1.46 grams leftover of LR
