Question

How many moles are there for silver that are produced

Answer 1

Answer:

0.96moles

Explanations:

Given the reaction between Magnessium and silver nitrate expressed as:

$Mg(s)+2AgNO_3(aq)\rightarrow Mg(NO_3)_2(aq)+2Ag(s)$

Given the following parameter

Moles of Magnessium at the start = 0.480moles

According to stoichiometry, 1mole of magnessium produce 2 moles of silver. Hence the moles of silver that is produced if 0.48moles of Mg reacted is given as:

$\begin{gathered} mole\text{ of Ag = 2}\times0.48moles \\ mole\text{ of Ag =}0.96moles \end{gathered}$

Hence the moles of silver that will produced is 0.96moles
