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
The percent composition of Silver Chloride is 75.27% silver (Ag) and 24.73% chlorine (Cl).
To calculate the mass of silver chloride needed to plate 285mg of pure silver, you can start by determining the mass of silver in the silver chloride. Since silver chloride contains 75.27% silver, the mass of silver in the silver chloride is 0.7527 * mass of silver chloride. Once you have the mass of silver in the silver chloride, you can set up a ratio to find the mass of silver chloride needed to plate 285mg of pure silver.
Silver chloride can be made by combining silver nitrate with sodium chloride. This will result in a white precipitate of silver chloride forming in the solution. Alternatively, silver chloride can also be made by reacting hydrochloric acid with silver nitrate.
Silver(I) chloride, although it is typically just called silver chloride, because +1 is silver's only valence state.
The precipitate formed from silver nitrate and ammonium chloride is silver chloride. This reaction occurs because silver chloride is insoluble in water.
The percent composition of Silver Chloride is 75.27% silver (Ag) and 24.73% chlorine (Cl).
To calculate the percent chloride using the Volhard method, you measure the excess silver nitrate used to titrate the chloride ions in the sample. You then use the volume of excess silver nitrate and the molarity of the silver nitrate solution to calculate the moles of chloride present. Finally, calculate the percent chloride by dividing the moles of chloride by the sample weight and multiplying by 100.

If the silver chloride is not dry when its mass is determined, the calculated percent of silver in the alloy will be too low. This is because the presence of water in the silver chloride sample will add extra mass to the compound, leading to an underestimation of the actual silver content in the alloy.
The correct name for AgCl is silver chloride. Its IUPAC name is chlorosilver. Other names for silver chloride are cerargyrite, chlorargyrite, and horn silver.

The precipitate formed from silver nitrate and ammonium chloride is silver chloride. This reaction occurs because silver chloride is insoluble in water.
A white solid called silver chloride is formed when silver nitrate is added to a solution of cobalt chloride. This reaction is a double displacement reaction where the silver ions from silver nitrate replace the chloride ions from cobalt chloride to form the insoluble silver chloride precipitate.
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.
Silver chloride is not soluble in water.
When potassium chloride and silver acetate react, a double displacement reaction occurs. The potassium from potassium acetate and silver from silver chloride swap partners to form silver chloride and potassium acetate. Silver chloride is insoluble and precipitates out of the solution.
