Question 26

A solution of potassium chloride when mixed with silver nitrate solution, forms an insoluble white substance. Write the chemical reaction involved and also mention the type of the chemical reaction.

Answer 1

Given below is the chemical equation for the given chemical reaction:

$\text{KCl (aq)}+{\text{AgNO}}_3\text{(aq)}\to \text{AgCl (s)}+{\text{KNO}}_3\text{(aq)}$

It is a double displacement and precipitation reaction as exchange of ions is taking place between the reactants and silver chloride is formed as a precipitate.
