Question

Based on the following information: A series of chemicals were added to some AgNO3(aq). NaCl(aq) was added first to the silver nitrate solution with the end result shown below in test tube 1, NH3(aq) was then added with the end result shown in test tube 2, and HNO3(aq) was added last with the end result shown in test tube 3.

Please write the balanced equation for each of the three tubes. Thanks!

Answer 1

1 Ag^+(aq) + Cl^-(aq) --> AgCl(s)
2 AgCl(s) + 2NH3(aq) → Ag(NH3)2+(aq) + Cl-(aq)
3 NH3(aq) + H+(aq) → NH4+(aq)
4 Ag^+(aq) + Cl^-(aq) --> AgCl(s)
