If 100.0 grams of AgNO3 are combined with 25.00 grams MgCl2, what mass (in grams) of AgCl(s) could form? The other product of the reaction is Mg(NO3)2(aq).
2 AgNO3 (aq) + MgCl2 (aq) --------> 2AgCl + Mg(NO3)2
2 moles 1 mole 2 moles 1 mole
2x 170g 95g 2x143.5g mole ratio/stoichiometic ratio
100g 25g - - taken
25 g of magensium chloride reacts with only 89.4 g of silver nitrate, leaving some silver nitrate unreactd. Thus magnesium chloride is the LIming Reagent. Hence product is calculated from magnesium chloride onluy.
Thus the amount of silver chloride formed is = 25x2x 143.5 /95 = 75.52g
