Silver ions can be precipitated from aqueous solutions by the addition of aqueous chloride:
Ag+ (aq) + Cl-(aq) ®AgCl(s)
Determine the numbers of grams of solid NaCl must be added to 25.0 mL of 0.366 M AgNO3 solution to completely precipitate the silver? Silver chloride is virtually insoluble in the water so that the reaction appears to go to completion.
