(a) When 300.0 milliliters of a solution of 0.200 molar AgNO3 is mixed with 100.0 milliliters of a 0.0500 molar CaCl2 solution, what is the concentration of silver ion after the reaction has gone to completion?

2AgNO3 + CaCl2 ==> 2AgCl + Ca(NO3)2

initial:
AgNO3 = M x L = 0.06 moles.
CaCl2 = M x L = 0.005 moles.

CaCl2 is limiting reagent; 0.005 moles react to leave 0 moles CaCl2 and 0.06-0.005 = 0.055 moles AgNO3 unreacted.(It forms 0.005 moles solid AgCl which ppts).
Concn of AgNO3 remaining after reaction is ?moles/?L = 0.055 moles/0.400 L = ??
