Verified Answer :

Silver chloride is AgCl, while silver nitrate is AgNO3.  There is the same amount of AgNO3, so the silver from a sample of silver nitrate can produce the same amount of silver chloride.  Therefore, this produces 15.0 moles of silver chloride.

Answer: 15.0

Explanation:

1) The chemical formula of silver nitrate is AgNO₃

2) The chemical formula of silver chloride is AgCl

3) Therefore, by mass balance you know that all the atoms of Ag in AgNO₃ will en up at the AgCl. This is a mole ratio 1:1.

4) Since, there are 15.0 moles of Ag atoms in 15.0 moles of AgNO₃, you conclude, using the 1: 1 ratio, that 15.0 moles of AgCl are produced.
