Question

AgNO 3 (aq) + NaCl(aq)→ NaNO3 (aq) + AgCl (s).The reaction above is an example of

Answer 1

EXPLANATION;

What is a chemical reaction?

Chemical reaction is defined as the process that leads to the chemical transformation of one chemical set to another

Below are the types of chemical reaction

1. Single replacement reaction

2. Decomposition reaction

3. Double replacement reaction

4. Combustion reaction

Precipitation reaction is defined as a type of reaction in which two ionic bonds combined together in an aqueous solution resulting in the formation of a soluble salt.

An example of a precipitation reaction is written below as

`\text{ AgNO}_(3(aq))\text{ + NaCl\lparen aq\rparen }\rightarrow\text{ NaNO}_(3(aq))\text{ + AgCl}_((s))`

Therefore, the reaction above is a precipitation reaction
