Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following ions will cause the precipitation of AgCl from a solution of AgNO3?
  • Step 1: Identify the ions present in the solution of AgNO3. The ions are Ag+ (silver) and NO3- (nitrate).
  • Step 2: Understand that precipitation occurs when two ions combine to form an insoluble compound.
  • Step 3: Recognize that Cl- (chloride) ions can react with Ag+ ions.
  • Step 4: When Cl- ions meet Ag+ ions, they form AgCl (silver chloride).
  • Step 5: Note that AgCl is insoluble in water, meaning it will not stay dissolved.
  • Step 6: Since AgCl cannot remain in solution, it will precipitate out, forming a solid.
