A limiting reagent problem.
2AgNO3 + Cu ==> Cu(NO3)2 + 2Ag
mols Cu = grams/atomic mass = ?
mols AgNO3 = grams/molar mass = ?
Using the coefficients in the balanced equation:
Convert mols Cu to mols Ag
Convert mols AgNO3 to mols Ag
The smaller number wins; i.e., if AgNO3 is the limiting reagent (the smaller number mols of Ag produced) then that amount of Cu will replace all of the Ag in AgNO3.
Will 100g of copper completely replace all the silver in 200g of silver nitrate
