Silver nitrate, AgNO₃, can be used to test for the presence of chloride ions in solution, because it readily forms a precipitate of AgCl.What volume of 2.0 M AgNO₃ will be required to react with 50.0 mL of a 0.10 M HCl solution? AgNO₃(aq) + HCl(aq) $\rightarrow$ AgCl(s) + HNO₃(aq) A)0.25 mL B)25 mL C)5.0* 10¹ mL D)2.5 *10² mL E)2.5 mL

The balanced chemical equation is:AgNO3(aq) + HCl(aq) → AgCl(s) + HNO3(aq)From the balanced chemical equation, we can see that 1 mole of AgNO3 reacts with 1 mole of HCl.Moles of HCl = 0.10 M * 0.050 L = 0.005 molesMoles of AgNO3 = 0.005 molesVolume of 2.0 M AgNO3 = 0.005 moles / 2.0 M = 0.0025 L = 2.5 mLTherefore, the correct answer is E) 2.5 mL.
