- This is the ion exchange reaction equation between AgNO3 (Silver nitrate) and K2SO3 (Potassium sulfite) to form Ag2SO3 (Silver sulfite) and KNO3 (Potassium nitrate).
- Silver nitrate and potassium sulfite are alkalis, soluble in water, while silver sulfite is slightly soluble in water and potassium nitrate is easily soluble.
- Both of these reactions occur in an acidic or alkaline environment.
-
Reaction conditions: The reaction occurs when AgNO3 and K2SO3 come into contact with each other in a solution environment, at room temperature.
-
Reaction process: When AgNO3 and K2SO3 come into contact, they form Ag2SO3, a white solid that is insoluble in water, and KNO3, a substance that is soluble in water. Both of these substances separate from the solution.
-
Observed phenomenon: When the two substances react, a white precipitate of Ag2SO3 appears. This is a sign indicating that the reaction has occurred.
