Question

When an aqueous solution of potassium chloride is added to an aqueous solution of silver nitrate, a white precipitate is formed. Give the chemical equation of this reaction.

Answer 1

\[\ce{KCl_{(aq)} + AgNO3_{(aq)}->AgCl_{(s)} + KNO3_{(aq)}}\]

Formation of white precipitate by the above reaction is due to formation of silver chloride (AgCl).
