$A$ solution of potassium chloride when mixed with silver nitrate solution,an insoluble white substance is formed. Write the chemical reaction involved and also mention the type of the chemical reaction?
(N/A) The chemical reaction between potassium chloride $(KCl)$ and silver nitrate $(AgNO_3)$ is as follows:
$KCl(aq) + AgNO_3(aq) \longrightarrow AgCl(s) + KNO_3(aq)$
In this reaction,silver chloride $(AgCl)$ is formed as an insoluble white precipitate.
This is a double displacement reaction because there is an exchange of ions between the reactants.
It is also classified as a precipitation reaction because an insoluble solid (precipitate) is formed.
$KCl(aq) + AgNO_3(aq) \longrightarrow AgCl(s) + KNO_3(aq)$
In this reaction,silver chloride $(AgCl)$ is formed as an insoluble white precipitate.
This is a double displacement reaction because there is an exchange of ions between the reactants.
It is also classified as a precipitation reaction because an insoluble solid (precipitate) is formed.
