How many moles of silver metal are produced from 1.55 moles of copper metal? How many moles of copper(II) nitrate?

Respuesta :

Answer:

1. 3.1 moles of silver, Ag.

2. 1.55 moles of Cu(NO₃)₂.

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

Cu + 2AgNO₃ —> Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2Ag

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of Cu reacted to produce 1 mole of Cu(NO₃)₂ and 2 moles of Ag.

1. Determination of the number of mole of silver (Ag) produced.

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of Cu reacted to produce 2 moles of Ag.

Therefore, 1.55 moles of Cu will react to produce = 1.55 × 2 = 3.1 moles of Ag.

Thus, 3.1 moles of Ag is produced.

2. Determination of the number of mole of copper(II) nitrate, Cu(NO₃)₂ produced.

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of Cu reacted to produce 1 mole of Cu(NO₃)₂.

Therefore, 1.55 moles of Cu will also react to 1.55 moles of Cu(NO₃)₂.

Thus, 1.55 moles of Cu(NO₃)₂ is produced
