Step 1
The given mass of pure silver is converted into grams.
Given, 245mg of pure Ag
1g=1000g
=245mg×1g1000mg
=0.245g
Step 2
The mass of silver chloride required to plate 245mg pure silver is calculated as
Consider, x grams of AgCl contains 0.245g of pure Ag.
Given, AgCl contains 75.27% Ag
then, x×75.27100=0.245g
x=0.245×10075.27=0.325g
Conversion of gram into milligram
0.325×1000mg1g=325mg AgCl
Step 3
The mass of silver chloride required to plate 245mg pure silver is 325mg.
