Detailed information about the equation Na2CO3 + AgNO3 -> 2NaNO3 + Ag2CO3:
-
Reaction conditions:
- The reaction occurs when the two substances are mixed together in solution form.
-
Reaction process:
- When sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) and silver nitrate (AgNO3) are introduced into the same solution environment, the Na+ ion in sodium carbonate will swap positions with the Ag+ ion in silver nitrate.
- After the reaction, the Na+ ion combines with the NO3- ion to form sodium nitrate (NaNO3) and the Ag+ ion combines with the CO3– ion to form silver carbonate (Ag2CO3).
-
Phenomena occurring:
- When the reaction occurs, the color of the solution changes and precipitation appears. Silver carbonate (Ag2CO3) will form a yellow precipitate in the form of fine powder. Sodium nitrate (NaNO3) remains in solution form, without forming any precipitate.
- This phenomenon helps confirm that the reaction process has taken place.
