take aquous solution of sodium chloride in a test tube and silver nitrate in another test tube .mix both the
solution in a beaker .what happens?
Answers
Answer:
For example, when an aqueous solution of silver nitrate (AgNO3) is added to the aqueous solution of sodium chloride (NaCl), a white precipitate of silver chloride (AgCl) is formed that is indicated by the following chemical reaction. ... Ionic compounds dissociate into ions when dissolved in water (aqueous solution).
Explanation:
Answer:
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 + NaNO 3
