  • Silver Chromate Production: Calculating Moles from Nitrate
    Here's how to solve this problem:

    1. Balanced Chemical Equation:

    First, write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction:

    2 AgNO₃ (aq) + Na₂CrO₄ (aq) → Ag₂CrO₄ (s) + 2 NaNO₃ (aq)

    2. Mole Ratio:

    The balanced equation shows that 2 moles of silver nitrate (AgNO₃) react to produce 1 mole of silver chromate (Ag₂CrO₄). This is the mole ratio we'll use.

    3. Calculation:

    * Start with the given moles of silver nitrate (AgNO₃): 4 moles AgNO₃

    * Use the mole ratio to convert moles of AgNO₃ to moles of Ag₂CrO₄:

    (4 moles AgNO₃) * (1 mole Ag₂CrO₄ / 2 moles AgNO₃) = 2 moles Ag₂CrO₄

    Answer: 4 moles of silver nitrate (AgNO₃) will produce 2 moles of silver chromate (Ag₂CrO₄).
