Question

Chemical reaction NaCl (aq) + AgNO 3 (aq) → AgCl (s) + NaNO 3 (aq) is:

Answer 1

This reaction is both precipitation reaction as well as double displacement reaction.

In a double displacement reaction the anions are exchanged and in a precipitation reaction, a precipitate is formed in the end. In this case, AgCl is the precipitate.
