Question

A chemist dissolves silver nitrate (AgNO3) in water. He also dissolves ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) in water. He mixes the two solutions. A precipitate of silver chloride (AgCl) forms. Which chemical equation correctly represents this reaction

Answer 1

Answer:

The balanced reaction is:

AgNO₃ (aq) + NH₄Cl(aq)  →  AgCl(s) ↓ + NH₄NO₃ (aq)

Explanation:

1 mol of silver nitrate reacts with 1 mol of amonium chloride to produce 1 mol of silver chloride and 1 mol of amonium nitrate
