The correct answer is: 7 g

AgNO3 (aq)+NaCl (aq)AgCl (s)+NaNO3 (aq)

The above equation is balanced, and we can see that when one mole of AgNO3 and one mole of NaCl react then one mole of AgCl is precipitated.

So, the reactant which is present in lesser quantity determines the amount of AgCl formed.

25 ml of 35% AgNO3

=25×35100=8.75 g of AgNO3

25 ml of 11.6% NaCl

=25×11.6100=2.9 g of NaCl

As 1 mole NaCl =58.5 g

So, 2.9 g of NaCl =2.958.5=0.049 moles

Therefore, 0.049 moles of AgCl is precipitated.

Hence, amount of AgCl =number of moles × molar mass of AgCl=0.049×143 g=7 g
