Answer to Question #171313 in General Chemistry for Kayla

Question

Does a reaction occur when aqueous solutions ofnickel(II) chloride and silver(I) nitrate are combined?

yes or no

If a reaction does occur, write the net ionic equation.

Answer 1

Yes,

A double displacement reaction occurs in this case. It means their is exchange of cations (positive ions) and anions (negative ions) between the two reactant compounds. Thus,the two new products which are obtained is the result of switching of ions between the reactants.
