-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

NaCl + Ag(NO₃) --> Na(NO₃) + AgCl

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

NaCl + Ag(NO₃) --> Na(NO₃) + AgCl

The given reaction represent the double displacement reaction. Anion and cation of both reactant exchange with each others.

The anion of sodium chloride(Cl⁻) combine with cation of silver nitrate Ag⁺ and NO₃⁻ combine with Na⁺.

The third equation is correct while others are in correct.

Double replacement:

It is the reaction in which two compound exchange their ions and form new compounds.

AB + CD → AC +BD
