-
In this chemical equation, silver nitrate (AgNO3) reacts with hydrochloric acid (HCl) to form silver chloride (AgCl) and nitric acid (HNO3).
-
Silver nitrate and hydrochloric acid are the reactants, while silver chloride and nitric acid are the products of the reaction.
-
Reaction conditions:
- The reaction occurs at room temperature.
- This is an ionic reaction in solution, so the presence of a solvent (usually water) is required.
-
Reaction process:
- Starting from silver nitrate and hydrochloric acid, through the reaction process, silver chloride and nitric acid are formed.
- The formation of silver chloride helps differentiate hydrochloric acid from other acids, as silver chloride is white and insoluble in water.
