18 g of copper is mixed with silver nitrate in water. how much copper ll nitrate will formed?

Mass = 112.54 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of copper = 18 g

How much copper(II) nitrate formed = ?

Solution:

Cu + 2AgNO₃  →  Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2Ag

Number of moles of copper:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 18 g/ 29 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.6 mol

Now we will compare the moles of Cu with Cu(NO₃)₂ .

             Cu        :        Cu(NO₃)₂

              1           :             1

           0.6          :           0.6

Mass of Cu(NO₃)₂ :

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.6 mol × 187.56 g/mol

Mass = 112.54 g
