Answer:

39 mol AgNO3

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation 4HNO3 + 3Ag -----> 3AgNO3 + NO + 2H2O

We want to calculate the number of silver nitrate (AgNO3) moles that would be produced from 52 moles of nitric acid ( HNO3 )

We can calculate this by using mole ratio as well as dimensional analysis.

The mole ratio of Silver nitrate to nitric acid based on the balanced equation is 3AgNO3:4HNO3.

Using this we can create a table: The table is attached.

Breakdown of the table.

The moles of nitric acid cancel out and we multiply 52 by 3/4 to get 39 moles of Silver nitrate.
