Question

Write the net ionic equation for any reaction that may be predicted when aqueous solutions of silver(I) nitrate and potassium chloride are combined.

(Use the lowest possible coefficients for the reaction. Use the pull-down boxes to specify states such as (aq) or (s). If a box is not needed, leave it blank. If no reaction occurs, leave all boxes blank and click on Submit.)

Answer 1

Sol: the reaction between silver nitrate and potassium chloride gives precipitate of silver chloride.

The molecular equation of reaction between AgNO3 and KCl is:

AgNO3(aq) +KCl(aq) ->AgCl(s) +KNO3(aq)

The ionic reaction is shown below:

Ag⁺_(aq) +NO₃^-_(aq) +K⁺_(aq) +Cl^-_-(aq) ->AgCl_(s) +K⁺_(aq) +NO₃^​-_(aq)

Then cancel all the spectator ions which are present in both side of equation to get the net ionic equation.

Hence, net ionic equation:

Ag⁺_(aq) +Cl^-_(aq) ->AgCl_(s)
