Question

Enter the net ionic equation, including phases, for the reaction of AgNO (aq) and KCl(aq). Refer to the solubility rules as needed. net ionic equation: Ag ++ C1" Agai

Answer 1

When silver nitrate & potassium chloride are mixed the products are silver chloride and potassium nitrate.

The molecular equation for above reaction is AgNO ₃ (aq) + KCl (aq) $\rightarrow$ AgCl (s) + KNO ₃ (aq)

KCl, AgNO ₃ & KNO ₃ are ionic compounds. They are present in the form of ions when dissolved in water.

Hence, we can write a complete ionic equation as shown below.

Ag ⁺ (aq) + NO ₃^- (aq) + K ⁺ (aq) + Cl ^- (aq) $\rightarrow$ AgCl (s) + K ⁺ (aq) + NO ₃^- (aq)

In above equation , NO ₃^- & K ⁺ are called spectator ions. By cancelling these ions we get a net ionic equation as Ag ⁺ (aq) +  Cl ^- (aq) $\rightarrow$ AgCl (s).

ANSWER : Ag ⁺ (aq) +  Cl ^- (aq) $\rightarrow$ AgCl (s).
