Detailed Solution

Again weightof AgCl given = 14.35 g

Molar mass of AgCl = (103+35.5)g = 143.5 g 

So moles of AgCl =14.35143.5mol

= 0.1 mol

Applying POAC on Ag,

moles of Ag+ ion present = 0.1 mol

We have molar mass of Ag = 10.8 g Ag

0.1 mol Ag = 108×0.1 g Ag=10.8 g Ag

Given, mass of the silver coin = 21.6 g

%Ag in the coin = 14.35143.5×10821.6
