1. The formation of water-insoluble chloride salts, especially silver(I) chloride, is useful for the analysis of compounds that contain chlorine. Consider the following unbalanced equation:
_____ BaCl2(aq) + _____ AgNO3(aq) --> _____ AgCl(s) + _____ Ba(NO3)2(aq)
a. Balance the equation.
BaCl2 + 2AgNO3 = 2AgCl + Ba(NO3)2
b. What mass of AgNO3, in grams, is required to react completely with 1.00 gram BaCl2?
c. What mass (in grams) of AgCl is produced in this process?
d. What mass (in grams) of Ba(NO3)2 is also produced in this process?
