Free Response Question 4: Aqueous silver nitrate reacts with aqueous magnesium iodide to form solid silver iodide and aqueous magnesium nitrate. Write a complete and balanced chemical reaction. Include the phases for each compound. If the solutions contained 50.0 grams of silver nitrate and 50.0 grams magnesium iodide, determine which reactant is the limiting reactant and how many grams of precipitate are produced (In other words, what is the theoretical yield of the precipitate)? A student carried out the experiment and produced 48.3 grams of the precipitate. Calculate the percent yield for the experiment.
