Use the balanced chemical equation below. If I have 3.7 moles of AgNO3, how much Cu(NO3)2 should I produce?

Cu + 2 AgNO3 --> Cu(NO3)2 + 2 Ag

All metal nitrates are soluble in water, how are you going to do that?

But just for a theoretical exercise:

2AgNO3(aq) + Cu^2+(aq) >>>> 2Ag+(aq) + Cu(NO3)2

2 moles of silver nitrate produce 1 mole of copper nitrate.

Therefore 3 moles would produce 3/2 moles of copper nitrate.
