An excess of silver nitrate solution was added to a solution of hydrochloric acid with a volume of 50 ml
An excess of silver nitrate solution was added to a solution of hydrochloric acid with a volume of 50 ml and a density of 1.1 g / ml, the mass fraction of HCl in which is 20%. Determine the mass of the sediment formed.
Find the mass of the hydrochloric acid solution.
m = Vp
m = 50 cm3 × 1.1 g / ml = 55 g.
Find the mass of HCl in solution.
W = m (substance): m (solution) × 100%,
m (substance) = (m (solution) × W): 100%.
m (HCl) = (55 g × 20%): 100% = 11 g.
Let’s find the amount of HCl substance by the formula:
n = m: M.
M (HCl) = 36.5 g / mol.
n = 11 g: 36.5 g / mol = 0.3 mol.
Let’s compose the reaction equation, find the quantitative ratios of substances.
HCl + AgNO3 = AgCl ↓ + HNO3.
According to the reaction equation, there is 1 mol of AgCl per 1 mol of HCl. Substances are in quantitative ratios 1: 1.
n (AgCl) = n (HCl) = 0.3 mol.
Let’s find the mass of AgCl by the formula:
m = n × M,
М (AgCl) = 143.5 g / mol.
m = 0.3 mol × 143.5 g / mol = 43.05 g.
Answer: 43.05.
