Question
**Question 9 of 16**

**Problem Statement:**

How many moles of precipitate will be formed when 69.9 mL of 0.300 M AgNO₃ is reacted with excess CaI₂ in the following chemical reaction?

\[ 2 \, \text{AgNO}_3 \, (\text{aq}) + \text{CaI}_2 \, (\text{aq}) \rightarrow 2 \, \text{AgI} \, (\text{s}) + \text{Ca(NO}_3)_2 \, (\text{aq}) \]

**Explanation:**

This problem involves a chemical reaction where silver nitrate (AgNO₃) reacts with calcium iodide (CaI₂) to form silver iodide (AgI) as a precipitate and calcium nitrate (Ca(NO₃)₂).  

- The solution has a volume of 69.9 mL and a concentration of 0.300 M for AgNO₃.

- The reaction between AgNO₃ and CaI₂ follows a 2:1 stoichiometry, meaning two moles of AgNO₃ produce two moles of AgI precipitate.

To find the moles of precipitate (AgI), use:

1. **Convert the volume from mL to L**: \( 69.9 \, \text{mL} = 0.0699 \, \text{L} \)
2. **Calculate moles of AgNO₃ using Molarity**: 
   \[
   \text{Moles of AgNO}_3 = 0.0699 \, \text{L} \times 0.300 \, \text{mol/L} = 0.02097 \, \text{mol} 
   \]
3. **Stoichiometry**: Since 2 moles of AgNO₃ produce 2 moles of AgI, the moles of AgI will also be 0.02097.

Thus, 0.02097 moles of AgI precipitate will be formed.
