Question

which is a non ionic compound ? AGNO3 + NAIL = AGCL + NANO3

Answer 1

Answer: The non-ionic compound in this equation is silver chloride (AgCl).

Explanation:

The given reaction is a type of double displacement and precipitation reaction. The equation follows:

$AgNO_3(aq.)+NaCl(aq.)\rightarrow AgCl(s)+NaNO_3(aq.)$

An ionic compound is defined as a compound which breaks into its respective ions when dissolved in water.

A non-ionic compound is defined as a compound which does not breaks into its respective ions when dissolved in water. It remains as a solid.

From the above reaction, the precipitate formed is AgCl and thus it does not gets dissolved or breaks down in aqueous solution of sodium nitrate.

Hence, the non-ionic compound in this equation is silver chloride (AgCl).
