Answer:
7.65 moles of silver are produced
Explanation:
Zinc, Zn, reacts with silver nitrate, AgNO3, as follows:
Zn + 2AgNO3 → Zn(NO3)2 + 2Ag
Where 1 mole of Zn reacts with an excess of AgNO3 to produce 2 moles of Ag
To solve this question we must convert the mass of Zn to moles and, using the chemical equation, we can find the moles of Ag as follows:
Moles Zn (Molar mass: 65.38g/mol):
250g Zn * (1mol / 65.38g) = 3.824 moles Zn
Moles Ag:
3.824 moles Zn * (2mol Ag / 1mol Zn) =
7.65 moles of silver are produced
