The theoretical yield of silver is 285 g when 83.9 g of copper reacts with silver nitrate to produce silver metal and copper (II) nitrate. What is the percent yield if 255 g of silver was actually collected from this process?

Challenge When copper wire is placed into a silver nitrate solution $\left(\mathrm{AgNO}_{3}\right)$, silver crystals and copper(II) nitrate $\left(\mathrm{Cu}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{3}\right)_{2}\right)$ solution form. a. Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction. b. If a 20.0-g sample of copper is used, determine the theoretical yield of silver. c. If 60.0 g of silver is recovered from the reaction, determine the percent yield of the reaction.
