1. Write the balanced chemical equation:

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

2. Determine the mole ratio:

The balanced equation shows that 1 mole of Zn reacts to produce 2 moles of Ag.

3. Calculate the moles of Ag produced:

* You have 1.30 moles of Zn.

* Using the mole ratio: 1.30 moles Zn * (2 moles Ag / 1 mole Zn) = 2.60 moles Ag

Therefore, 2.60 moles of silver (Ag) will be generated if 1.30 moles of zinc (Zn) react.
