Write the balance chemical equation and use mole concept for limiting reagent.
AgNO3 + NaCI→ NaNO3 + AgCIO
170 g58.5 g 143.5 g
From the given data, we find AgNO3 is limiting reagent as NaCI is in excess.
∵ 170.0 g of AgNO3 precipitates AgCI = 143.5 g
∴ 5.77 g of AgNO3 precipitates AgCI
= 143.5/170 * 5.77 = 4.87 g
