To measure the amount of chlorine in a well-boring fluid, an analytical chemist adds 0.3600M silver nitrate AgNO3 solution to a 24.00g sample of the fluid and collects the solid silver chloride AgCl product. When no more  AgCl is produced, he filters, washes and weighs it, and finds that 1.28g has been produced. The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is: Cl−(aq) + AgNO3(aq) -> AgCl(s) + NO−3(aq) What kind of reaction is this? If you said this was a precipitation reaction, enter the chemical formula of the precipitate. If you said this was an acid-base reaction, enter the chemical formula of the reactant that is acting as the base. If you said this was a redox reaction, enter the chemical symbol of the element that is oxidized. Calculate the mass percent of Cl in the sample. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Question

To measure the amount of chlorine in a well-boring fluid, an analytical chemist adds 0.3600M silver nitrate AgNO3 solution to a 24.00g sample of the fluid and collects the solid silver chloride AgCl product. When no more  AgCl is produced, he filters, washes and weighs it, and finds that 1.28g has been produced.

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is:

Cl−(aq) + AgNO3(aq) -> AgCl(s) + NO−3(aq)
What kind of reaction is this?
If you said this was a precipitation reaction, enter the chemical formula of the precipitate.
If you said this was an acid-base reaction, enter the chemical formula of the reactant that is acting as the base.
If you said this was a redox reaction, enter the chemical symbol of the element that is oxidized.
Calculate the mass percent of Cl in the sample. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
