Predict the precipitate that forms when aqueous solutions of silver nitrate and potassium chloride react to form products in a double-replacement reaction.

The solid precipitate formed in the above reaction is silver chloride.

Explanation:

Precipitation reaction is defined as the reaction in which an insoluble salt is formed when two solutions are mixed containing soluble substances. The insoluble salt settles down at the bottom of the reaction mixture.

Double displacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which exchange of ions takes place.

The chemical equation for the reaction of silver nitrate and potassium chloride follows:

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of aqueous solution of silver nitrate reacts with 1 mole of aqueous solution of potassium chloride to produce 1 mole of solid silver chloride and 1 mole of aqueous solution of potassium nitrate

Hence, the solid precipitate formed in the above reaction is silver chloride.

that's what i got you can count the number of atoms

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
