Explanation:
2AgNO₃(aq) + Na₂S(aq) => 2NaNO₃(aq) + Ag₂S(s)
given 2.0g 2.5g Spec Ions Driving Force ppt
= 2.0g/169.8g·mol⁻¹ =2.5g/78g·mol⁻¹
= 0.012mol =0.032mol
0.012/2=>0.006* 0.032/1=>0.032*
Limiting Reactant => *Dividing moles by respective coefficient => Limiting Reactant is the smaller resulting value. Therefore AgNO₃ is the Limiting Reagent
Theoretical Yield of ppt Ag₂S(s) = 1/2(0.012 mol) = 0.006 mol Ag₂S(s) = 0.006mol(246g·mol⁻¹ ) = 1.48g Ag₂S(s)
%Yield = (Lab Yield/Theoretical Yield) x 100% = (1.25g/1.48g)100% = 84%
Reagent in Excess => Na₂S(aq) => 0.032mol is given but only 0.016mol is consumed in the reaction. That is, (0.032 - 0.016)mol = 0.016mol Na₂S(aq) remains in excess = (0.016mol)(78g·mol⁻¹) = 1.25g Na₂S(aq) in excess.
