Homework Statement



Silver nitrate solutions are often used to plate silver onto other metals. What is the maximum amount of silver (in grams) that can be plated out of 4.6 L of an AgNO3 solution containing 3.7% Ag by mass? Assume that the density of the solution is 1.01g/mL .


Homework Equations


m=moles of solute/ mass of solvent (kg)
mass percent=(mass of component/ total mass of solution)*100%


The Attempt at a Solution


I have no idea how to even approach this problem so maybe just a hint can help me gain some sort of insight.

Start finding mass of the solution, then apply percentage information.
 
Thank you so much, I figured it out and got it right. :smile:
