An aqueous solution of silver nitrate contains 5.00 g of silver nitrate. To this solution is added sufficient barium chloride to precipitate all the silver as silver chloride. What mass, in grams, of dry silver chloride can be obtained?

Answer 1

You can do this one of several ways, first, as a reaction to precipate the silver.

The second, is just to figure out how much silver is in 5g AgNO3. This is much easier. The percent of Ag in AgNO3 is
