Solutions of AgNO3 and NaCl are combined. Which of the following is a product formed in this double displacement reaction?

Select one:
a. AgCl
b. AgNa
c. ClNO3
d. Cl2

Answer 1

A.) AgCl

Step-by-step explanation:

In double-displacement reactions, the cation of one compound is swapped with the cation of another.

These are ionic compounds made up of one cation and one anion. In this reaction, Ag⁺ and Na⁺ are the cations and NO₃⁻ and Cl⁻ are the anions. Since all the ions either have a +1 or -1 charge, the charges balance perfectly (no subscripts need to be added).

As such, the possible products of this reaction are AgCl and NaNO₃.
