Explanation / Answer

2 Hg(NO3)2 + 2 Na2Cr2O7 -----------> Hg2(Cr2O7)2 (ppt) + 4 NaNO3
Find the limiting agent ,
50.186 gm * (2mol /324.7 g Hg(NO3)2) * (1 mol of ppt /2mol Hg(NO3)2) * (833.156 g ppt / 1mol ppt)
= 128.7735 gm of Hg2(Cr2O7)2
15.488 gm * (2mol /261.97 g Na2Cr2O7) * (1molppt/2mol Na2Cr2O7) * (833.156 g ppt / 1mol ppt)
= 49.2572 gm of Hg2(Cr2O7)2
Na2Cr2O7 is the limiting agent, 49.2572 gms of solid precipitate is formed
mol of Na2Cr2O7 = 15.488 gm / 261.97 g/mol = 0.059121 mol  Na2Cr2O7
mol of excess reactant used up = (0.059121 mol  Na2Cr2O7) * (2mol Hg(NO3)2 / 2mol Na2Cr2O7)
mol of excess reactant used up = 0.059121 mol Hg(NO3)2
mass of excess reactant used up = 0.059121mol Hg(NO3)2* 324.7gm/mol = 19.19658 gm Hg(NO3)2
Therefore grams of the reactant in excess that will remain after the reaction,
50.186 gm - 19.19658 gm = 30.98941 gms
