![### Title: Silver Recovery via Reduction Reaction
In this example, silver metal is recovered during the reduction of silver nitrate:
\[ \text{Cu}(s) + 2 \text{AgNO}_3(aq) \rightarrow 2 \text{Ag}(s) + \text{Cu(NO}_3)_2(aq) \]
**Problem Statement:**
During an experiment, 125 grams of copper (Cu) were placed into a solution containing 275 grams of silver nitrate (AgNO₃). As a result, 135 grams of silver (Ag) were recovered. The task is to determine the percent yield of the silver (Ag) obtained.
**Details:**
- **Cu (Copper):** 125 grams
- **AgNO₃ (silver nitrate):** 275 grams
- **Recovered Ag (Silver):** 135 grams
**Objective:**
Calculate the percent yield of silver (Ag) obtained from the reaction.
**Percent Yield Calculation:**
Percent yield is calculated as follows:
\[ \text{Percent Yield} = \left( \frac{\text{Actual Yield}}{\text{Theoretical Yield}} \right) \times 100 \]
For this reaction:
- Find the theoretical yield of silver (Ag) using stoichiometry.
- Use the given actual yield (135 grams) to compute the percent yield.](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/538c38f2-df06-499f-a780-26c93cfeecb7/23318637-34d9-4f37-8b94-3da304028d45/gdxad3j_processed.jpeg)
