Double Replacement Reaction
A reaction occurs when 17.0 grams of silver nitrate (AgNO3) is mixed with 5.85 grams of sodium chloride (NaCl) in an aqueous solution. Silver chloride (AgCl) and sodium nitrate (NaNO3) form as products, with the silver chloride visibly appearing as a white precipitate. The chemical equation represents the reaction.


The table shows the molar masses of each compound in the reaction.

Compound Molar Mass (g/mol)
AgNO3 169.87
NaCl 58.44
AgCl 143.32
NaNO3 84.99
