Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following ions would produce a white precipitate when treated with silver nitrate?
  • Step 1: Understand that silver nitrate is a chemical that can react with certain ions.
  • Step 2: Know that chloride ions (Cl-) are one type of ion that can react with silver nitrate.
  • Step 3: When chloride ions are mixed with silver nitrate, they form a compound called silver chloride (AgCl).
  • Step 4: Silver chloride is known to be a white solid, which is called a precipitate.
  • Step 5: Therefore, if you have chloride ions and you add silver nitrate, you will see a white precipitate form.
