Question

Q3. When copper (II) chloride reacts with silvernitrate, copper (II) nitrate and silverchloride are formed.Write the balanced equation for the reaction given above:A.CuCl2(aq) + 2 AgNO3(aq) →Cu (NO3)2(aq) + 2 AgCl(s)B.CuCl2(aq) + NaNO3(aq) →Cu (NO3)2(aq) + AgCl(s)C.CuCl2(aq) + 2 NaNO2(aq) →Cu (NO2)2(aq) + 2 AgCl(s)D.CuCl(aq) + NaNO3(aq) →Cu NO3(aq) + AgCl(aq

Answer 1

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

When we are writing chemical reaction equations, we must ensure that such equations are balanced. That is, the number of atoms of each element on both sides of the reaction equation are exactly the same.

After we identify the formula of each compound in the reaction, then we proceed the write the balanced reaction equation as follows;

CuCl2 + 2AgNO3 -------> Cu(NO3)2 + 2AgCl
