Question
A metal X forms a water soluble salt XNO3. When an aqueous solution of XNO3 is added to common salt solution, then a white precipitate of compound Y is formed along with sodium nitrate solution. Metal X is said to be the best conductor of electricity and it does not evolve hydrogen when put in dilute hydrohloric acid.
- What is metal X?
- What is salt XNO3?
- Name the compound Y.
- Write the chemical equation of the reaction which takes place on reacting XNO3 solution and common salt solution giving the physical states of all the reactants and products.
- What type of chemical reaction is illustrated by the above equation?

Solution
- Metal X is silver (Ag).
- Salt XNO3 is silver nitrate (AgNO3).
- Compound Y is silver chloride (AgCl).
- \[\ce{AgNO3_{(aq)} + NaCl_{(aq)} -> AgCl_{(s)}\downarrow + NaNO3_{(aq)}}\]
- A double-displacement reaction, specifically a precipitation reaction, occurs.
