Question

What is formed in the reaction Kl(aq) + AgNO3(aq) → Agl(s) + KNO3(aq)?

O
A. A precipitate
B. A gas
O
C. A mixture
O
D. Water
SUBMIT

Answer 1

A. A precipitate

Step-by-step explanation:

The reaction is a double displacement reaction in which a precipitate, AgI is produced. In a double displacement reaction, there is an actual exchange of partner ions to form new compounds. This type of reaction is usually known for ionic compounds.

Equation;

KI
`_(aq)` + AgNO₃
`_(aq)` → AgI
`_(s)` + KNO₃
`_(aq)`

From the reaction above, AgI will result in the formation of a yellow precipitate in the solution.

A precipitate is an insoluble compound formed in chemical reaction.
