How many moles of chlorine are necessary to completely react with 5.0 moles of silver in the synthesis of silver () chloride according to the following equation: 2 Ag + Cl 2 -> 2 AgCl

The answer to your question is 2.5 moles of Cl₂

Explanation:

Data

moles of Cl = x

moles of Ag = 5

Balanced chemical equation

                 2Ag  +  1Cl₂   ⇒   2 AgCl

       Reactants         Elements       Products

              2                       Ag                 2

              2                       Cl                   2

Process

1.- Use the coefficients of the balanced reaction to solve this problem.

                2 moles of Ag 1 mol of Cl₂

                  5 moles of Ag   x

                  x = (5 x 1) / 2

                  x = 5/2

                  x = 2.5

2.- Conclusion

5 moles of Silver reacts with 2.5 moles of Cl₂
