Question

Correct the incorrect reaction agno3(aq)+nacl(aq)→nacl(s)+agno3(aq) express your answer as a chemical equation. identify all of the phases in your answer.

Answer 1

`AgNO_3_((aq)) + NaCl_((aq)) ---> AgCl_((s)) + NaNO_3_((aq))`

Step-by-step explanation:

The reaction is a double decomposition, displacement or salt metathesis reaction. It is a chemical reaction between two compounds resulting in the interchange of one part of each to form two different compounds.

Hence both
`AgNO_3` and NaCl exchange parts to form new products as follows:

`AgNO_3_((aq)) + NaCl_((aq)) ---> AgCl_((s)) + NaNO_3_((aq))`

The correct equation showing all the phases of the reactants/products involved is
`AgNO_3_((aq)) + NaCl_((aq)) ---> AgCl_((s)) + NaNO_3_((aq))`
