STOICHIOMETRY QUESTION!!!!!!!!!!! 10 POINTS!?

What volume of 0.50M* AgNO3 is required to react with 25.0 liters of 1.5M CaCl2?

*M stands for Molarity, which is moles/liters

The equation for the reaction is: 2AgNO3 + CaCl2 ---> 2AgCl + Ca(NO3)2

    moles CaCl2 = molarity x litres

    = 1.5 M x 25.0 L

    = 37.5 moles

    the balanced equation tells you that 1 mole CaCl2 reacts with 2 moles AgNO3

    So moles AgNO3 needed = 2 x moles CaCl2

    = 75.0 mol

    Now work out what volume of the AgNO3 solution has this many moles

    molarity = moles / Litres

    Therefore litres = moles / molarity

    = 75.0 mol / 0.50 M

    = 150 L (2 sig figs)
