Answer to Question #106507 in Inorganic Chemistry for Delaney Gilder

Question

If 0.200 moles of AgNO3 react with 0.155 moles of H2SO4 according to this UNBALANCED equation below, how many grams of AgSO4 could be formed? AgNO3+H2SO4->Ag2SO4+HNO3

Answer 1

The balanced chemical equation can be written as follows:

2AgNO3+H₂SO4->Ag₂SO4+2HNO3

Since 2 moles of AgNO3 react with 1 mole of H₂SO4 to form 1 mole of Ag₂SO4, n (Ag2SO4):

$n=0.200\times\frac{0.155}{2}\times\frac{1}{1}=0.0155$

$m=M\times n=0.0155\times311.7984=4.83$
