The above chemical equation shows the chemical reaction between silver nitrate (AgNO3) and sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), resulting in silver carbonate (Ag2CO3) and sodium nitrate (NaNO3).
- Reaction Conditions
This reaction occurs when the two initial substances come into contact with each other, without requiring specific pressure or temperature conditions.
- Reaction Process
When silver nitrate (AgNO3) comes into contact with sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), an ion exchange reaction occurs, producing silver carbonate (Ag2CO3) and sodium nitrate (NaNO3).
Specifically, the Ag+ ion in AgNO3 will combine with the CO3(2-) ion in Na2CO3 to form Ag2CO3, while the Na+ ion in Na2CO3 will combine with the NO3- ion in AgNO3 to form NaNO3.
- Occurring Phenomenon
When the reaction occurs, the observable phenomenon is the appearance of the brown precipitate of silver carbonate (Ag2CO3).
