Question

Potassium chromate (K2CrO4) is sometimes used with other compounds to check for the presence of silver. Which of these formulas is correct for a silver-containing precipitate in such a reaction?(1 point) Responses PbCrO4 cap A g cap c r cap o sub 4 AgNO3 cap A g cap n cap o sub 3 Ag2CrO4 cap A g sub 2 cap c r cap o sub 4 AgCl AgCl

Answer 1

The correct formula for a silver-containing precipitate when potassium chromate (K2CrO4) is used in a reaction to check for the presence of silver is **Ag2CrO4** (silver chromate). Therefore, the answer is:

**Ag2CrO4 (Ag₂CrO₄)**
