I know this might sound easy... but i need these problems for bonus and i want to make sure they are right
Silver nitrate reacts with strontium chloride in an aqueous precipitation reaction. What are the formulas of silver nitrate and strontium chloride? Write the molecular equation and net ionic equation for the reaction. What are the names of the products? Give the molecular equation for another reaction that produces the same precipitate.
silver nitrate- AgNO3
strontium chloride- SrCl2
2AgNo3(aq)+SrCl2(aq)->2AgCl(s)+Sr(NO3)2(aq)
Ag+1(aq)+Cl-1(aq)->AgCl(s)
Silver chloride. strontium nitrate
AgNO3(aq)+NaCl(aq)->AgCl(s)+NaNO3(aq)
All of it looks good to me except for the typo you made in the first equation. It should be AgNO3
To find the formulas of silver nitrate and strontium chloride, you can refer to the periodic table.
Silver is represented as "Ag", and nitrate is a polyatomic ion with a formula of "NO3-". Combining these results in the formula "AgNO3" for silver nitrate.
Strontium is represented as "Sr", and chloride is a single chloride ion with a charge of -1. The formula for strontium chloride is "SrCl2", indicating that two chloride ions combine with one strontium ion.
The molecular equation for the reaction between silver nitrate and strontium chloride is:
2AgNO3(aq) + SrCl2(aq) -> 2AgCl(s) + Sr(NO3)2(aq)
This equation shows the reactants (silver nitrate and strontium chloride) on the left side and the products (silver chloride and strontium nitrate) on the right side.
The net ionic equation for the reaction can be obtained by removing the spectator ions that do not participate in the reaction. In this case, the spectator ions are the nitrate ion (NO3-) and the strontium ion (Sr2+). Therefore, the net ionic equation is:
2Ag+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq) -> 2AgCl(s)
In this net ionic equation, only the ions directly involved in producing the silver chloride precipitate are shown.
The name of the product formed is silver chloride (AgCl). The other product, strontium nitrate (Sr(NO3)2), remains in solution.
To provide another example of a reaction that produces the same precipitate, you mentioned the equation:
AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) -> AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq)
This reaction involves the combination of silver nitrate and sodium chloride to form silver chloride as a precipitate. The other product is sodium nitrate.
