Answer

AgNO₃(aq) + KI(aq) ------> AgI(s) + KNO₃(aq)

Step-by-step explanation

Given unbalanced chemical equation:

AgNO₃(aq) + KI(aq)

The type of chemical reaction above is a double replacement reaction. A reaction in which two compounds react by an exchange of ions to form two new compounds is called a double displacement reaction. One of the two compounds formed is insoluble and the order is soluble.

The balanced chemical equation for the given reaction is:

AgNO₃(aq) + KI(aq) ------> AgI(s) + KNO₃(aq)

The precipitate is the insoluble AgI.
