Question

Complete and balance each of the following equations. If no reaction occurs, write noreaction:

Answer 1

Barium chloride reacts with silver nitrate to form  a precipitate of silver chloride along with soluble solution of barium nitrate. The equation is as follows:

BaCl2(aq) + AgNO3(aq) → AgCl(s) + Ba(NO3)2(aq)

Lets balance the equation:

Reactants                                                    Products

# Ba atoms = 1                                       #Ba atoms = 1

# Cl atoms = 2                                       # Cl atoms = 1  

# Ag atoms = 1                                      # Ag atoms = 1

# NO3- group = 1                                  # NO3- group = 2

Thus the balanced equation needs to be balanced w.r.t Cl and NO3-

BaCl2(aq) + 2AgNO3(aq) → 2AgCl(s) + Ba(NO3)2(aq)
