Question

Write word equation for the following reaction:

Adding a solution of silver nitrate to a solution of sodium chloride.

Answer 1

The word equation for adding a solution of silver nitrate to a solution of sodium chloride is:

• $\mathrm{Silver}\mathrm{nitrate}+\mathrm{Sodium}\mathrm{chloride}\to \mathrm{Silver}\mathrm{chloride}+\mathrm{Sodium}\mathrm{nitrate}$
• ${\mathrm{AgNO}}_3\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)+\mathrm{NaCl}\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)\to \mathrm{AgCl}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)+{\mathrm{NaNO}}_3\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)$
• It is a double displacement reaction.
