Answer:

The answer to your question is 41.6 g of AgCl

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

mass of NH₄Cl = 15.5 g

mass of AgNO₃ = excess

mass of AgCl = 35.5 g

theoretical yield = ?

Process

1.- Write the balanced chemical reaction.

NH₄Cl + AgNO₃ ⇒ AgCl + NH₄NO₃

2.- Calculate the molar mass of NH₄Cl and AgCl

NH₄Cl = 14 + 4 + 35.5 = 53.5 g

AgCl = 108 + 35.5 = 143.5 g

3.- Calculate the theoretical yield

53.5 g of NH₄Cl -------------------- 143.5 g of AgCl

15.5 g of NH₄Cl ------------------- x

x = (15.5 x 143.5) / 53.5

x = 2224.25 / 53.5

x = 41.6 g of AgCl
