Step 1: Define

[RxN - Unbalanced] AgNO₃ + ZnCl₂ → AgCl + Zn(NO₃)₂

↓

[RxN - Balanced] 2AgNO₃ + ZnCl₂ → 2AgCl + Zn(NO₃)₂

[Given] 2.4 mol ZnCl₂

[Solve] x g AgCl

Step 2: Identify Conversions

[RxN] 1 mol ZnCl₂ → 2 mol AgCl

[PT] Molar Mass of Ag - 107.87 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mass of Cl - 35.45 g/mol

Molar Mass of AgCl - 107.87 + 35.45 = 143.32 g/mol

Step 3: Stoich

Step 4: Check

Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 2 sig figs.

687.936 g AgCl ≈ 690 g AgCl

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
