A lab student dissolves 0.401 g of AgNO3 in a beaker of water and 0.253 g of MgCl2 in another beaker of water. The student then combines the two solutions, which together form AgCl as a white precipitate. He then isolates the AgCl and finds its mass to be 0.292 g. Here is the equation for the reaction: (First balance the reaction, if needed) AgNO3 (aq) + MgCl2 (aq) →AgCl (s) + Mg(NO3)2 Which starting material is the limiting reagent? What is the theoretical yield of AgCl in this reaction? What was the percent yield of AgCl in this reaction?

A lab student dissolves 0.401 g of AgNO3 in a beaker of water and 0.253 g of MgCl2 in another beaker of water. The student then combines the two solutions, which together form AgCl as a white precipitate. He then isolates the AgCl and finds its mass to be 0.292 g.

Here is the equation for the reaction: (First balance the reaction, if needed)

AgNO3 (aq) + MgCl2 (aq) →AgCl (s) + Mg(NO3)2
