1. Balanced Chemical Equation:
The balanced chemical equation you provided is correct:
2AgNO₃ + BaCl₂ → 2AgCl + Ba(NO₃)₂
2. Mole Ratio:
The balanced equation tells us that 2 moles of AgNO₃ react with 1 mole of BaCl₂.
3. Calculate Moles of BaCl₂:
* You have 7.5 moles of AgNO₃.
* Use the mole ratio: (1 mole BaCl₂ / 2 moles AgNO₃)
* Multiply this ratio by the moles of AgNO₃: (1 mole BaCl₂ / 2 moles AgNO₃) * 7.5 moles AgNO₃ = 3.75 moles BaCl₂
Therefore, you need 3.75 moles of BaCl₂ to react completely with 7.5 moles of AgNO₃.
