Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Determine Moles of \(\text{Na}_{2} \text{SO}_{4}\)
Calculate the moles of \(\text{Na}_{2} \text{SO}_{4}\) using its concentration and volume:
\[
\text{Moles of } \text{Na}_{2} \text{SO}_{4} = 0.274 \, \text{M} \times 0.155 \, \text{L} = 0.04247 \, \text{mol}
\]
Step 2: Use Stoichiometry to Find Moles of \(\text{AgNO}_{3}\)
From the balanced chemical equation, the stoichiometric ratio between \(\text{AgNO}_{3}\) and \(\text{Na}_{2} \text{SO}_{4}\) is 2:1. Therefore, calculate the moles of \(\text{AgNO}_{3}\) needed:
\[
\text{Moles of } \text{AgNO}_{3} = 2 \times 0.04247 \, \text{mol} = 0.08494 \, \text{mol}
\]
Step 3: Calculate Volume of \(\text{AgNO}_{3}\) Solution
Use the concentration of \(\text{AgNO}_{3}\) to find the required volume:
\[
\text{Volume of } \text{AgNO}_{3} = \frac{0.08494 \, \text{mol}}{0.305 \, \text{M}} = 0.278 \, \text{L} = 278 \, \text{mL}
