The following is the question:
"If 45.5ml of 0.200 M AgNO3 is mixed with 35.8ml of 0.436 M Na2CrO4, what is the theoretical yield of the precipitate silver chromate?"
So I thought I was supposed to calculate the theoretical yield of AgsCrO4, but the answer was that for Na2CrO4?
Now I am confused... What is the differece between "the precipitate silver chromate" and "silver chromate"?
Thanks

When you mix the two things a precipitate will form. The precipitate is insoluble in water and is in the solid phase. Silver xhromate is Ag2CrO4. This is insoluble in water so it is the precipItate.
