Question #310120

how many grams of Cu would have to react to produce 89.5 grams of Ag?


Expert's answer

It is unclear what reaction takes place, but it is reasonable to assume the general single displacement reaction:

Cu + 2Ag+ --> Cu2+ + 2Ag


m(Cu)=89.5 g(Ag)×1 mol(Ag)107.87 g(Ag)×1 mol(Cu)2 mol(Ag)×63.55 g(Cu)1 mol(Cu)=26.4 gm(Cu)=89.5\ g(Ag)\times\frac{1\ mol(Ag)}{107.87\ g(Ag)}\times\frac{1\ mol(Cu)}{2\ mol(Ag)}\times\frac{63.55\ g(Cu)}{1\ mol(Cu)}=26.4\ g


Answer: 26.4 g
