Problem

Aqueous Ag+\text{Ag}^+ ions react with Cl−\text{Cl}^- ions to form solid AgCl\text{AgCl} according to Ag+(aq)+Cl−(aq)→AgCl(s)\text{Ag}^+(aq)+\text{Cl}^-(aq)\rightarrow\text{AgCl}(s). A snapshot of the solution shows 15 Ag+\text{Ag}^+ ions and 12 Cl−\text{Cl}^- ions. (i) Determine the number of AgCl\text{AgCl} formula units that precipitate. (ii) Identify and quantify any ions that remain in solution once precipitation is complete.
