Question

On mixing aqueous solutions of silver nitrate and sodium chloride, a white precipitate of _______ is formed along with sodium nitrate. This is an example of ________ reaction.​

Answer 1

When silver nitrate (AgNO3) reacts with sodium chloride (NaCl) a white precipitate of silver chloride (AgCl) is formed which is highly insoluble in water, along with formation of sodium nitrate (NaNO3).

Since (AgCl) is insoluble in water it will precipitate out and (NaNO3) is soluble in water so it will remain dissolved in the mixture. This reaction is an example of double displacement reaction and it occurs as follows:-

AgNO3 + NaCl→AgCl + NaNO3

Hence, the correct answer is the option (B).

Answer 2

Answer:

the

Explanation:

the praecipitation is AgCl and it is displacement reaction
