Question

What mass of silver oxide, Ag2O is required to produce 25.0 g of silver sulfadiazine, AgC10H9N4SO2, from the reaction of silver oxide and sulfadiazine?

2C10H10N4SO2 + Ag2O ? 2AgC10H9N4SO2 + H2O

Answer 1

8.1107 g

Step-by-step explanation:

The given reaction:

`2C_(10)H_(10)N_4SO_2+Ag_2O\rightarrow 2AgC_(10)H_9N_4SO_2+H_2O`

Given that:

Mass of silver sulfadiazine = 25.0 g

Molar mass of silver sulfadiazine = 357.14 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

`moles = (Mass\ taken)/(Molar\ mass)`

Thus,

`Moles= (25.0\ g)/(357.14\ g/mol)`

`Moles= 0.07\ mol`

From the reaction,

2 moles of silver sulfadiazine are formed from 1 mole of silver oxide

So,

1 mole of silver sulfadiazine are formed from 1/2 mole of silver oxide

0.07 mole of silver sulfadiazine are formed from 1/2*0.07 mole of silver oxide

Moles of silver oxide = 0.035 moles

Molar mass of silver oxide = 231.735 g/mol

Mass = Moles * Molar mass = 0.035 moles * 231.735 g/mol = 8.1107 g
