Solution
The correct option is E0.40M AgNO3+NaCl→AgCl+NaNO3 The molar mass of AgCl is 108+35.5=143.5 g/mol. 5.7 g AgCl corresponds to 5.7g143.5g/mol=0.040mol. The number of moles of Ag+ ions is equal to the number of moles of AgCl. It is 0.040 moles The molar concentration is the ratio of the number of moles of Ag+ ions to total volume of solution in L. It is 0.040mol100mL×100mL1000mL=0.40 M.
