The balanced reaction
is:

 AgNO3 + NaCl = NaNO3 + AgCl

 We are given the amount of silver nitrate to react with sodium chloride. This
will be our starting point.

 15.0 mol AgNO3 (1 mol AgCl / 1
mol AgNO3 ) =15.0 mol AgCl


The amount of moles produced is the same with the amount of the given reactant since they only one is to one ratio.

Answer: 15 moles of silver chloride will be produced.

Explanation:

We are given:

Moles of silver nitrate = 15 moles

For the given chemical reaction:

\(AgNO_3+NaCl\rightarrow NaNO_3+AgCl\)

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of silver nitrate produces 1 mole of silver chloride.

So, 15 moles of silver nitrate will produce = \(\frac{1}{1}\times 15=15mol\) of silver chloride.

Hence, 15 moles of silver chloride will be produced.
