Reaction 1: Cu(s) + AgNO3 (aq) = CuNO3 (aq) + Ag (s)
Reaction 2: Cu (s) +AgNO3 (aq) = Cu(NO3)2 (aq) + Ag (s)
Part 1: Write the balanced net ionic equations for both of theabove reactions.
Assume that excess silver nitrate is available when answeringthe remaining questions.
Part 2: Calculate the theoretical grams of silver metal thatcould form from 2.568g of copper wire based upon reaction 1. (Besure the reaction is properly balanced.)
Part 3: Calculate the theoretical grams of silver metal thatcould form from 2.568g of copper wire based upon reaction 2. (Besure the reaction is properly balanced.)
Part 4: Calculate the percent yield of silver produced accordingto each reaction if a student isolates 8.021g of Ag once the entire2.568g of copper wire has been consumed. Based upon these yields,which is the most likely reeaction to have occured? Explain youranswer.
