For double-replacement reaction, the cation of the first reactant would combine with the anion of the second reactant, and vice versa. Therefore, in this case, the product would be Potassium Nitrate (KNO3) and Silver Bromide (AgBr).

I hope I was able to explain it well. Have a good day :)

Step-by-step explanation:

A double replacement reaction is a reaction in which two different compounds are mixed together and both their cations and anions get exchanged with each other respectively.

When potassium bromide reacts with silver nitrate then it results in the formation of potassium nitrate and silver bromide.

The chemical reaction equation is as follows.


KBr + AgNO_(3) \rightarrow KNO_(3) + AgBr
