Question

What is the mass of of silver that can be that can be prepared from 1.00 g of copper metal?
Cu(s) + 2AgNO3 (aq) -----> Cu(NO3)(aq)+2Ag(s)

Answer 1

Balanced equation:
Cu(s) + AgNO₃(aq) ====> Cu(NO₃)(aq) + Ag(s)
Reaction type: single replacement

Mass of copper = 1 gm

Molar mass of copper = 63.54 g/mol

Moles of copper = 1 gm / 63.54 g/mol = 0.01573 Moles

Moles of silver produced = 0.01573 Moles

Molar mass of silver = 107.86 g/mol

Mass of silver produced = 0.01573 moles x 107.86 g/mol = 1.6974 gm

Hence 1.6974 gm of silver can be produced.
