suppose you had an unknown solution that contained either dissolved NaOH, NaCl< or NaNO3. you add 4 drops of AgNO3 solution to 4drops of the unknown solution and observed that no solid formed. What can be concluded the unknown solution? why?

The unknown is NaNO3. If the unknown were NaOH, a ppt of AgOH would have formed. If the unknown were NaCl, a ppt of AgCl would have formed. NaNO3 is the ONLY one of the three listed that would have no reaction with AgNO3. Great stuff, this chemistry.
AgNO3 + NaCl produces AgCl + NaNo3 how much AgCl is produced when 3.10g of AgNO3 and .600g of NaCl react?
What can be concluded about the unknown solution?
