Answer:
Yes. Since they have more than the required reactants.
Explanation:
Zinc reduces silver nitrate to silver metal according to the following equation.
2AgNO₃ + Zn → 2Ag + Zn(NO₃)₂
From the equation 2 moles of AgNO₃ produce 2 moles of silver.
If we consider the zinc to be used number of moles=mass/RAM
RAM of zinc =65.38
No. of moles=500/65.38
=7.6476moles
To produce 800 grams of silver they require:
800/107.868 moles=7.4165 moles of silver nitrate since the ratio of silver nitrate to silver produced is 1:1
The number of moles of silver nitrate available=1500/169.872
=8.83 moles.
As the amount of reactants available is more than the required the company will make it in producing the 800 grams of silver required.
