In what condition do sodium chloride and silver nitrate react? Write the balanced chemical equation of that reaction? |
|
Answer» When silver nitrate solution is added to sodium chloride solution, sodium nitrate and a white precipitate of silver chloride is formed. This is an example of double displacement reaction. Following is the chemical equation for the reaction AgNO3(aq)+NaCl(aq)→NaNO3(aq)+AgCl(s) ↓ All nitrates are soluble, hence silver nitrate is soluble; and all halides are soluble, EXCEPT for AgX,PbX2, and Hg2X2. Thus silver nitrate is soluble, but silver chloride precipitates from solution as a curdy white solid. |
