Question

Aqueous silver nitrate AgNO3 reacts with aqueous potassium bromide to form aqueous potassium nitrate KNO3 and solid silver bromide . Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

AgNO3(aq) + KBr(aq) ------> KNO3(aq) + AgBr (s)

Answer 2

Answer:

The balanced chemical equation is AgNO3(aq) + KBr → KNO3(aq) + AgBr(s)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Aqueous silver nitrate = AgNO3(aq)

aqueous potassium bromide = KBr(aq)

aqueous potassium nitrate = KNO3(aq)

solid silver bromide = AgBr(s)

Step 2: Balancing the equation

AgNO3(aq) + KBr → Ag+ + NO3- + K+ +Br-

AgNO3(aq) + KBr → KNO3(aq) + AgBr(s)

This means for 1 mol aqueous silver nitrate we need 1 mol aqueous potassium bromide to produce 1 mol aqueous potassium nitrate and 1 mol aqueous potassium nitrate

The balanced chemical equation is AgNO3(aq) + KBr → KNO3(aq) + AgBr(s)
