Answer:
3.2 moles
Explanation:
The equation for the reaction between copper and sliver nitrate is given by;
Cu + AgNO₃ → Ag + CuNO₃
- This is a single replacement reaction in which copper which is more reactive than silver displaces silver from its salt.
We are given;
- Moles of copper, Cu as 3.2 moles
We are required to calculate the moles of silver metal formed.
We need to first determine the mole ratio of Cu to Ag
- From the equation 1 mole reacts to form 1 mole of silver metal
- Therefore, mole ratio of Cu to Ag is 1 : 1
- Thus, moles of Cu = Moles of Ag
Hence,
The number of moles of Ag formed is 3.2 moles
