Silver chloride: AgCl

Atomic Mass of Ag: 107.9 grams

Atomic mass of Cl: 35.5 grams

Molecular mass: 107.9 + 35.5 = 143.4 grams

107.9 grams Ag / 143.4 grams AgCl = .752

35.5 grams Cl / 143.3 grams AgCl = .248

Take the results and multiply by 100 to change to a percent:

.752 × 100 = 75.2% Ag

.248 × 100 = 24.8% Cl

What is the compound name AgCl?

The correct name for AgCl is silver chloride. Its IUPAC name is chlorosilver. Other names for silver chloride are cerargyrite, chlorargyrite, and horn silver.


If the silver chloride is not dry when its mass is determined will the calculated percent of. silver in the alloy be too high or too low Explain.?

Too high because there will be extra water weight on the silver chloride therefore making it seem like there is more silver than there actually is.


What is the correct name for the compound AgCl?

Silver(I) chloride, although it is typically just called silver chloride, because +1 is silver's only valence state.


How did silver and chlorine formed to silver chloride?

Silver chloride is easily synthesized by combining aqueous solutions of silver nitrate and sodium chloride.


A 6.80 g coin is dissolved in nitric acid and 6.21g of AgCl was precipitated by the addition of excess sodium chloride calculate the percent silver in the coin?

The atomic mass of silver is 107.868 and the atomic mass of chlorine is 35.453. Therefore, the fraction by mass of silver in silver chloride is 107.868/(107.868 + 35.453) or 0.7526. The precipitated silver chloride therefore contains 0.7526 X 6.21 or 4.674 grams of silver from the coin. The mass percent silver in the coin therefore is 100(4.674/6.80) or 68.7 % silver, to the justified number of significant digits.
