Silver nitrate reacts with calcium chloride as
shown.
2 AgNO3 + CaCl2 → 2 AgCl + Ca(NO3)2

How many grams of CaCl2 would be required to completely react with 420 mL of
0.506 M AgNO3 solution?
Answer in units of grams.

Sagot :

Answer: 11.8 grams of [tex]CaCl_2[/tex] is required.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

[tex]\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}[/tex]     .....(1)

Molarity of [tex]AgNO_3[/tex] solution = 0.506 M

Volume of solution = 420 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

[tex]0.506M=\frac{\text{Moles of} AgNO_3\times 1000}{420ml}\\\\\text{Moles of }AgNO_3=\frac{0.506mol/L\times 420}{1000}=0.212mol[/tex]

The balanced chemical reaction is:

[tex]2AgNO_3+CaCl_2\rightarrow 2AgCl+Ca(NO_3)_2[/tex]

2 mole of [tex]AgNO_3[/tex] requires = 1 mole of [tex]CaCl_2[/tex]  

0.212 moles of [tex]AgNO_3[/tex] require = [tex]\frac{1}{2}\times 0.212=0.106[/tex] moles of [tex]CaCl_2[/tex]

Mass of  [tex]CaCl_2[/tex] =[tex]moles\times {\text {Molar Mass}}=0.106mol\times 111g/mol=11.8g[/tex]
