    a)

    According to the reaction equation:

    1 mole of copper produces two moles of silver metal

    3 moles of copper metal will produce 3*2/1 = 6 moles of silver metal

    b)

    Mass of silver produced = number of moles * molar mass

    Mass of silver produced = 6*108 = 648g of silver

    c)

    1 mole of Cu produced 1 mole of copper II nitrate

    3 moles of copper will produce 3*1/1 = 3moles of copper Ii nitrate

    d)

    Molar mass of copper II nitrate = 64 + 2 (14+3 (16)) = 188gmol-1

    Mass of copper II nitrate = 3 * 188 = 564g of copper II nitrate

    (a) 6 moles of Ag

    (b) 647.22g of Ag

    (c) 3 moles of copper (II) nitrate

    (d) 564g of copper (II) nitrate

    Explanation:

    Cu (s) + 2AgNO3 (aq) = 2Ag (s) + Cu (NO3) 2 (aq)

    (a) According to the above equation, 1 mole of Cu gives 2 mole of Ag. So, 3 moles of Cu will give:

    Cu : Ag

    1 2

    3 x

    x = 3*2

    x = 6 moles of silver

    (b) To find grams of silver metal, multiply the moles from (a) with its molar mass,

    mass=no. of moles * MM

    = 6 * 107.87g

    = 647.22g of Ag will be produced

    (c) According to the above equation, 1 mole of Cu gives 1 mole of Cu (NO3) 2, so 3 moles of Cu will give:

    Cu : Cu (NO3) 2

    1 1

    3 x

    x = 3 * 1

    x = 3 moles of Cu (NO3) 2

    (d) To find grams of Cu (NO3) 2, multiple moles with (a) with molar mass of Cu (NO3) 2,

    mass of Cu (NO3) 2 = moles * MM

    = 3 * 188g/mol

    = 564g of Cu (NO3) 2
