Question

Identify the precipitate(s) of the reaction that occurs when asilver nitrate solution is mixed with a sodium chloridesolution.

sodium nitrate
silver chloride
sodium chloride
silver nitrate

Explanation / Answer

AgNO3 + NaCl ---->AgCl + NaNO3-------------AgCl precipitates (I copied the following from my previous post) precipitation reactions occur when one of the products of thereaction is INSOLUBLE in water, that is a SOLID here are simple rules on the solubility of a compound in water 1) ALL compounds containing the Group I ions, NH+ ,NO3-, ClO3-,C2H3O2- ions areSOLUBLE 2) ALL compounds containing Pb2+,Hg2+,Ag+ , CO32-ions are INSOLUBLEEXCEPT for those mentioned in RULE 1 3) ALL compounds containing Ca2+, Sr2+,Ba2+, SO42- ions are SOLUBLEEXCEPT for those mentioned in RULE 2 4) When ions in Rule 3 are combined with each other, the resultingproduct is INSOLUBLE :-|
