Answer: The mass of silver iodide formed is 0.681 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

Concentration of silver nitrate = 5.00 g/L

Concentration of sodium iodide = 5.00 g/L

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:


\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}} ......(1)

  • For silver nitrate:

Volume of silver nitrate = 98.2 mL

Applying unitary method:

For 1000 mL of volume, the mass of silver nitrate is 5.00 grams

So, for 98.2 mL of volume, the mass of silver nitrate will be
(5.00g)/(1000mL)* 98.2mL=0.491g

Calculating the number of moles:

Given mass of silver nitrate = 0.491 g

Molar mass of silver nitrate = 169.9 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:


\text{Moles of silver nitrate}=(0.491g)/(169.9g/mol)\\\\\text{Moles of silver nitrate}=0.0029mol

  • For NaI:

Volume of NaI = 98.2 mL

Applying unitary method:

For 1000 mL of volume, the mass of NaI is 5.00 grams

So, for 98.2 mL of volume, the mass of NaI will be
(5.00g)/(1000mL)* 98.2mL=0.491g

Calculating the number of moles:

Given mass of NaI = 0.491 g

Molar mass of NaI = 149.9 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:


\text{Moles of NaI}=(0.491g)/(149.9g/mol)\\\\\text{Moles of silver nitrate}=0.0033mol

The chemical equation for the reaction of silver nitrate and NaI follows:


AgNO_3+NaI\rightarrow AgI+NaNO_3

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of silver nitrate reacts with 1 mole of sodium iodide

So, 0.0029 moles of silver nitrate will react with =
(1)/(1)* 0.0029=0.0029mol of sodium iodide

As, given amount of sodium iodide is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, silver nitrate is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of silver nitrate produces 1 mole of silver iodide

So, 0.0029 moles of silver nitrate will produce =
(1)/(1)* 0.0029=0.0029moles of silver iodide.

Now, calculating the mass of silver iodide from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of silver iodide = 234.8 g/mol

Moles of silver iodide = 0.0029 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:


0.0029mol=\frac{\text{Mass of silver iodide}}{234.8g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of silver iodide}=(0.0029mol* 234.8g/mol)=0.681g

Hence, the mass of silver iodide formed is 0.681 grams
