Solution Summary

The solution is a step-by-step equation process.

Solution Preview

NaCl + AgNO3 -> AgCl(ppt) + NaNO3
KCl + AgNO3 -> AgCl(ppt) + KNO3
Atomic wt of Ag = 108
Atomic wt of Cl = 35.5
atomic wt of Na = 22
Atomic wt of K = 39
molecular wt of AgCl = 108+35.5 = 143.5
in 143.5 gm of AgCl=> Cl = 35.5 gm
=> in 7.9143 gm of AgCl => Cl = 7.9143*35.5/143.5 = 1.9579 gm
