Problem

When aqueous solutions of silver nitrate and sodium chloride are mixed, a white precipitate forms. Which of the following is the correct net ionic equation for the reaction? (a) AgNO3(aq)+NaCl(aq)→AgCl(s)+NaNO3(aq)AgNO_3(aq)+NaCl(aq)\rightarrow AgCl(s)+NaNO_3(aq) (b) Ag+(aq)+Cl−(aq)→AgCl(s)Ag^+(aq)+Cl^-(aq)\rightarrow AgCl(s) (c) Ag+(aq)+NO3−(aq)+Na+(aq)+Cl−(aq)→AgCl(s)+Na+(aq)+NO3−(aq)Ag^+(aq)+NO_3^-(aq)+Na^+(aq)+Cl^-(aq)\rightarrow AgCl(s)+Na^+(aq)+NO_3^-(aq) (d) Ag+(aq)+2Cl−(aq)→AgCl2−(aq)Ag^+(aq)+2Cl^-(aq)\rightarrow AgCl_2^-(aq)
