Answer:

323.7g

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles of AgCl = 3 moles

Unknown:

Mass of Ag = ?

Solution:

We solve this problem by working from the known to the unknown;

The known here is AgCl;

From the balanced equation:

Zn + 2AgCl → ZnCl₂ + 2Ag

2 moles of AgCl will produce 2 moles of Ag

3 moles of AgCl will produce 3 moles of Ag

The mass of Ag will be;

Mass of Ag = number of moles x molar mass

Molar mass of Ag = 107.9g/mol

Mass of Ag = 3 x 107.9 = 323.7g
