Question

In order to predict the outcome of the reaction, write the molecular, full ionic, and net ionic equations for a mixture of aqueous ammonia (NH3) and silver nitrate (AgNO3) in which a diammonia silver complex ion is produced. Molecular: Full ionic: Net ionic: Predict your observations based on above molecular equation: Actual observations:

Answer 1

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Full molecular equation;

2NH3(aq) + AgNO3(aq) -------> [Ag(NH3)2]NO3(aq)

Full ionic equation

2NH3(aq) + Ag^+(aq) + NO3^-(aq) --------> [Ag(NH3)2]^+(aq) + NO3^-(aq)

Net ionic equation;

2NH3(aq) + Ag^+(aq) -------->  [Ag(NH3)2]^+(aq)

When Silver nitrate is mixed with a solution of aqueous ammonia, a white and cloudy solution was observed.
