15.50 g of NH4Cl reacts with an excess of AgNO3. In the reaction 35.50 g AgCl is produced. what is the theoretical yield of AgCl calculated in grams?

The answer to your question is 41.6 g of AgCl

Explanation:

Data

mass of NH₄Cl = 15.5 g

mass of AgNO₃ = excess

mass of AgCl = 35.5 g

theoretical yield = ?

Process

1.- Write the balanced chemical reaction.

              NH₄Cl  +  AgNO₃   ⇒   AgCl  +  NH₄NO₃

2.- Calculate the molar mass of NH₄Cl and AgCl

NH₄Cl = 14 + 4 + 35.5 = 53.5 g

AgCl = 108 + 35.5 = 143.5 g

3.- Calculate the theoretical yield

                 53.5 g of NH₄Cl 143.5 g of AgCl

                  15.5 g of NH₄Cl      x

                         x = (15.5 x 143.5) / 53.5

                         x = 2224.25 / 53.5

                         x = 41.6 g of AgCl
