To lift fingerprints from a crime scene, a solution of silver nitrate is sprayed on a surface to react with the sodium chloride left behind by perspiration. What is the molarity of a silver nitrate solution if 42.8 mL of it reacts with excess sodium chloride to produce 0.148g of precipitate according to the following reaction? AgNO3(aq)+NaCl(aq) --> AgCl(s)+NaNO3(aq)
A) 2.41 x 10^-2 M
B) 0.0229 M
C) 6.66 x 10^-2 M
D) 3.2 x 10^-3 M
E) 2.29 x 10^2 M

A) 2.41 * 10^-2 M

Explanation:

Here we go from grams of percipitate to moles of Silver nitrate because we already know NaCl is excess so we don't care about that.

Now that we have moles we know molarity is moles/litres so we just plug it in:

Molarity = mol/litres = 0.00103/0.0428 L = 0.0241 M or 2.41 * 10^-2 M

aquifers are bounded above and below by impermeable rock. the driving force of groundwater movement in confined aquifers is pressure, rather than gravity.
