  1. KCl + AgNO3 ==> AgCl + KNO3
    mols AgCl formed = g/molar mass = 0.2912/143.34 = 0.0020315
    The ratio of KCl to AgCl is 1:1; therefore, mols KCl to start must be 0.0020315. Grams KCl = mols KCl x molar mass KCl = ?
    % KCl = (grams KCl/mass sample)*100 = ?
    Post your work if you get stuck. Check those molar mass and calculations. I tried to do that from memory.

  2. 0.0020315*74.5513 = 0.1513
    % = 0.1513/0.2500 * 100 =60.52
