Calculate the number of grams of silver chromate formed from 25.0 mL of 0.125 M silver nitrate and 15.0 mL of 0.120 M potassium chromate.

Step 1_ Write and balance the reaction to see how many moles of silver nitrate could form from a mole of each reagent
2AgNO3 + K2CrO4 → Ag2CrO4 + 2KNO3
Each mole of K2CrO4 can react with 2 moles of AgNO3 to produce 1 mole of Ag2CrO4.
Each mole of AgNO3 can react with 0.5 moles of K2CrO4 to produce 0.5 mole of Ag2CrO4.
Step 2_ Calculate how many moles of each reactant you have.
(0.0250 L)(0.125 mol/L) = 0.003125 moles of AgNO3
(0.0150 L)(0.120 mol/L) = 0.00180 moles of K2CrO4
Step 3_ Figure out how much product will form, and which reactant is the limiting reagent (or if they are present in equivalent amounts).
Since each mole of K2CrO4 can react with 2 moles of AgNO3, 0.00180 moles of K2CrO4 could react with 0.00360 moles of AgNO3. However you do not have that much AgNO3. Silver nitrate is the limiting reagent, and K2CrO4 is in excess.
0.003125 moles of AgNO3 will react with 0.00161 moles of K2CrO4 to produce 0.00161 moles of Ag2CrO4.
Step 4_ Find the molecular weight (or formula weight) of Ag2CrO4, and calculate the number of grams formed.
Your instructor probably expect you to find the fromula weight for Ag2CrO4 by adding atomic weights. I added up to 331.73. That would mean 1 mole has a mass of 331.73 g
(0.00161 moles)(331.73 g/mol) = 0.534 g Ag2CrO4
