Question

Which products are formed when aluminum is added to a silver chloride solution?

Answer 1

Aluminium is higher is the reactivity series than silver thus it is able to replace the silver thus bonding with the chloride ion.


`Al_((s)) + 3 AgCl_((aq)) ------\ \textgreater \ AlCl_(3) _((aq)) + 3 Ag_((s))`

∴ the products are solid silver and aqueous aluminium chloride
