Consider the balanced chemical reaction below. What is the maximum number of grams of silver chloride that can be formed if a solution containing 18.0 g of silver nitrate and 32.4 g of iron(III) chloride are mixed?

15.2 grams

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation is :

To calculate the moles :

According to stoichiometry :

3 moles of require =  1 mole of

Thus 0.106 moles of will require= of

Thus is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and is the excess reagent.

As 3 moles of give = 3 moles of

Thus 0.106 moles of give =  of

Mass of

Thus 15.2 g of will be produced from the given masses of both reactants.
