If 6.51g of copper is reacted with 28.4g of silver nitrate, the products will be copper (II) nitrate and silver metal. What is the theoretical mass of silver that will be produced??

Answer 1

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

mols Cu = grams/atomic mass
Using the coefficients in the balanced equation, convert mols Cu to mols Ag.
Now convert mols Ag to grams Ag. g = mols x atomic mass Ag
This is the theoretical yield.

Answer 2

22.0 ?

Answer 3

22.1g Ag
