 For a particular chem prob I have:

  React 1.54kg of Ag (comes as a waste solution in a 55gal drum, prob does not say what the Ag is in solution with) with NaCl to create AgCl.  How much NaCl in needed to react completely with the silver present in the waste?

[Wsikes]

Also:  Determine the mass of NaCl that must be added to reduce the silver ion concentration to 5mg/L

Please read forum rules.

Try by yourself first.

Start with reaction equation.

Thanks for the reply and the link Borek.  That is a great resource that I will make use of.  I've actually spent a considerable amount of time on the problem before I posted, just didn't include my calculations due to time restraints.  The post was more to check my answers with those who are more adept than I when it comes to Chem.  I believe I'm on the right track though.  I'm a little stuck on the second part of the problem but I think I can figure it out in due time.  Thanks again for the link and your time...W
