Given 450.98 g of Cu(NO3)2, how many moles of Ag can be made? Provide your final answer rounded to two decimal places. Cu + 2 AgNO3 → Cu(NO3)2 + 2 Ag

4.82 moles of Ag.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole in 450.98 g of Cu(NO₃)₂. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of Cu(NO₃)₂ = 63.5 + 2[14 + (16×3)]

= 63.5 + 2[14 + 48]

= 63.5 + 2[62]

= 63.5 + 124

= 187.5 g/mol

Mass of Cu(NO₃)₂ = 450.98 g

Mole of Cu(NO₃)₂ =?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

Mole of Cu(NO₃)₂ = 450.98 / 187.5

Mole of Cu(NO₃)₂ = 2.41 moles

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of Cu needed to produce 450.98 g (i.e 2.41 moles) of Cu(NO₃)₂. This can be obtained as follow:

Cu + 2AgNO₃ —> Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2Ag

From the balanced equation above,

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

Therefore, 2.41 moles of Cu will also react to produce 2.41 moles of Cu(NO₃)₂.

Thus, 2.41 moles of Cu is needed for the reaction.

Finally, we shall determine the number of mole of Ag produced from the reaction. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

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

Therefore, 2.41 moles of Cu will react to produce = 2× 2.41 = 4.82 moles of Ag.

Thus, 4.82 moles of Ag were obtained from the reaction.

the answer is minerals.
