Achemist dissolves silver nitrate (agno₃) in water. he also dissolves ammonium chloride (nh₄cl) in water. he mixes the two solutions. a precipitate of silver chloride (agcl) forms. which chemical equation correctly represents this reaction?
a. agno₃(s) + nh₄cl(s) agcl(s) + nh₄no₃(s)
b. agno₃(aq) + nh₄cl(aq) agcl(aq) + nh₄no₃(aq)
c. agno₃(aq) + nh₄cl(aq) agcl(s) + nh₄no₃(aq)

c. AgNO₃(aq) + NH₄Cl(aq) ->AgCl(s) + NH₄NO₃(aq)

Explanation:

We have to follow the solubility rules to check the states of each compound.

-) All the cholride salts are soluble EXCEPT those also containing: lead, silver or mercury.

-) All the nitrate and ammonium salts are soluble.

With this in mind , and would be soluble, so we have to use the aqueosus state (aq).

The then would have a solid state (s).
