Why it is important to have balanced charges when forming ionic compounds?

✿

As we know electrons can neither be created not destroyed,instead it can be transferred from one medium to another, therefore it is important to have balanced charges when forming ionic compounds. Net ionic equations must be balanced by both mass and charge. Also, the total number of electrons lost by the cationic species must be same with the total number of electrons gained by the anionic species.

Ionic Compounds-Ionic compounds are solids and hard due to the strong attracting force between the positive and negative ions. These compounds are generally brittle and break into pieces on application of pressure.Ionic compounds contain positively and negatively charged ions in a ratio that results in an overall charge of zero.

Since there is the same amount of agn03 in both silver chloride and silver nitrate they produce the same amount of moles. therefore silver chloride produces the same amount of silver nitrate, so your answer is 15.0 moles of silver nitrate. i hope this !
