Question

A solution of potassium chloride when mixed with
silver nitrate solution, an insoluble white substance
is formed Write the type of chemical reaction and
the corresponding balanced chemical equation​

Answer 1

Answer:

When an aqueous solution of potassium chloride(KCl) when mixed with silver nitrate(AgNO3) solution an insoluble white substance  formed is silver chloride(AgCl).

The chemical reaction are as follows :

KCl(aq) + AgNO3(aq) → KNO3(aq) + AgCl (s).

It is an example of  double displacement reaction.

In displacement reaction two compounds reacts by exchange of ions to form two new compounds.

This reaction usually occurs in solution and one of the product being in soluble precipitates out as a solid. A precipitate is insoluble product formed during the reaction of two ionic compounds in aqueous solution.

This is an example of precipitation reaction also because a white precipitate of silver chloride is formed.

Explanation:

Answer 2

As per given data, A solution of Potassium Chloride when mixed with Silver Nitrate solution, an insoluble white substance

is formed.

Assume that, that substance is X.

Potassium Chloride + Silver Nitrate → (X) white substance

We have to tell the type of chemical reaction and the balanced chemical equation, using the above data.

Now,

When a solution of Potassium Chloride mixed with Silver Nitrate solution formation of Silver Chloride having formula AgCl takes place which is an insoluble white substance.

So, substance X is Silver Chloride.

The balanced chemical reaction:

KCl (aq) + AgNO3 (aq) → KNO3 (aq) + AgCl (s)

The above reaction is an example of a Double Displacement Reaction. As the ions are displacing each other.

It is also an example of Precipitation Reaction. Because the formation of precipitate takes place.
