Answer 1

150.08 g

Step-by-step explanation:

According the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed but is converted from one form to another.

As a result of this, the total mass of reactants must be equal to the total mass of products.

If this is so, we have been told that the mass of AgCl is 150.15 g, the total mass of products is 300.23g.

Therefore; mass of NaNO3 = 300.23 g - 150.15 g = 150.08 g
