Answer: 15 moles of silver chloride will be produced.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

Moles of silver nitrate = 15 moles

For the given chemical reaction:


AgNO_3+NaCl\rightarrow NaNO_3+AgCl

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of silver nitrate produces 1 mole of silver chloride.

So, 15 moles of silver nitrate will produce =
(1)/(1)* 15=15mol of silver chloride.

Hence, 15 moles of silver chloride will be produced.

The balanced reaction is:

AgNO3 + NaCl = NaNO3 + AgCl

We are given the amount of silver nitrate to react with sodium chloride. This will be our starting point.

15.0 mol AgNO3 (1 mol AgCl / 1 mol AgNO3 ) =15.0 mol AgCl


The amount of moles produced is the same with the amount of the given reactant since they only one is to one ratio.
