Question

Does a reaction occur when aqueous solutions of silver(I) acetate and manganese(II) iodide are combined?

Answer 1

When aqueous solutions of silver(I) acetate and manganese(II) iodide are combined, an insoluble precipitate of silver(I) iodide is formed

Step-by-step explanation:

• It is an example of precipitation reaction.
• When aqueous solutions of silver(I) acetate and manganese(II) iodide are combined, an insoluble precipitate of silver(I) iodide is formed.
• Precipitation of silver(I) iodide is confirmed by it's yellow color.
• Hence a reaction is observed.
• Molecular reaction:
  `2Ag(OAc)(aq.)+MnI_(2)(aq.)\rightarrow 2AgI(s)+Mn(OAc)_(2)(aq.)`
