I am having trouble combining moles and precipitation reactions. I know the following equation is true:
NaCl(aq) + AgNO3(aq) -> NaNO3(aq) + AgCl(s)
What I don't understand is how to combine moles with this.
I don't even know how to come up with an equation as an example, but it would look something like:
If 10 grams of AgCl are precipitated with one liter of NaCl, then how much AgNO3 was needed to precipitate the Silver Nitrate?
I'm not sure if the amounts make sense, but I just don't understand where to start.
In that case I would say that because it is a 1-to-1 ratio of Silver Nitrate precipitated and AgNO3 needed, then I would say that you would need 10 grams of AgCl. I don't even know if that makes sense because it is a solution. Plus you would need to know the molarity.
Can someone help me understand this? Thanks!
