Explanation / Answer

Answer:

The reaction is

Iron(II) chloride(aq)+Silver nitrate(aq) --------> Iron (II) nitrate(aq)+silver chloride(s).

FeCl2(aq)+AgNO3(aq)------->Fe(NO3)2(aq)+AgCl(s)

The balanced equation is

FeCl2(aq)+2AgNO3(aq) -------> Fe(NO3)2(aq)+2AgCl(s)

Given mass of silver nitrate=26.6 g and

Molar mass of AgNO3=169.87 g/mol.

Moles of AgNO3=mass/molar mass=26.6 g/169.87 g/mol

Moles of AgNO3=0.1566 mol.

The amount of FeCl2 is excess then the limiting reagent is AgNO3.

The mole ratio between AgNO3 to Fe(NO3)2 is 2:1

So the moles of Fe(NO3)2=1/2(mol AgNO3)=0.1566 mol/2=0.0783 mol.

Molar mass of Fe(NO3) 2=179.89 g/mol.

Mass of Fe(NO3)2=moles X molar mass

Mass of Fe(NO3)2=0.0783 mol X 179.89 g/mol=14.08 g.
