Answer:

The answer to your question is 0.49 moles of AgCl

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

mass of AgNO₃ = 83 g

moles of AgCl = ?

mass of NaCl = excess

Balanced chemical reaction

NaCl + AgNO₃ ⇒ AgCl + NaNO₃

Process

1.- Calculate the molar mass of AgNO₃

AgNO₃ = 108 + 14 + (16 x 3) = 170 g

2.- Convert the grams of AgNO₃ to moles

170 g of AgNO₃ --------------- 1 mol

83 g of AgNO₃ -------------- x

x = (83 x 1) / 170

x = 0.49 moles

3.- Calculate the moles of AgCl

1 mol of AgCl ------------ 1 mol of AgNO₃

x mol of AgCl ------------ 0.49 moles of AgNO₃

x = (0.49 x 1)/1

x = 0.49 moles of AgCl
