  • AgCl Production from AgNO3 and HCl: A Step-by-Step Calculation
    Here's how to solve this problem:

    1. Write the balanced chemical equation:

    AgNO₃(aq) + HCl(aq) → AgCl(s) + HNO₃(aq)

    2. Determine the moles of AgNO₃:

    * Molarity (M) = moles (mol) / volume (L)

    * 0.068 M = moles / 0.025 L

    * moles of AgNO₃ = 0.0017 mol

    3. Use the mole ratio from the balanced equation to find moles of AgCl:

    * The balanced equation shows a 1:1 mole ratio between AgNO₃ and AgCl. Therefore, 0.0017 moles of AgNO₃ will produce 0.0017 moles of AgCl.

    4. Calculate the mass of AgCl:

    * Molar mass of AgCl = 143.32 g/mol

    * mass = moles x molar mass

    * mass of AgCl = 0.0017 mol x 143.32 g/mol

    * mass of AgCl = 0.244 g

    Therefore, 0.244 g of solid AgCl is obtained.
