Achemical company makes pure silver by reacting silver nitrate with zinc. the company needs to make 800 grams of pure silver for a client. they have 500 grams of zinc and 1500 grams of silver nitrate will the make enough silver to fill the order

Yes. Since they have more than the required reactants.

Explanation:

Zinc reduces silver nitrate to silver metal according to the following equation.

2AgNO₃ + Zn → 2Ag + Zn(NO₃)₂

From the equation 2 moles of AgNO₃ produce 2 moles of silver.

If we consider the zinc to be used number of moles=mass/RAM

RAM of zinc =65.38

No. of moles=500/65.38

=7.6476moles

To produce 800 grams of silver they require:

800/107.868 moles=7.4165 moles of silver nitrate since the ratio of silver nitrate to silver produced is 1:1

The number of moles of silver nitrate available=1500/169.872

=8.83 moles.

As the amount of reactants available is more than the required the company will make it in producing the 800 grams of silver required.
