AgNO is composed of Ag+ (silver ion) and NO?- (nitrate ion), while FeCI3 consists of Fe3+ (iron ion) and CI-(chloride ion).
To form a balanced equation, we need to ensure that the charges on both sides of the equation are equal. This means that the number of positive charges (cations) must equal the number of negative charges (anions).
Since Ag+ has a charge of +1 and Cl- has a charge of -1, we can combine these ions to form AgCl (silver chloride).
The remaining ions are NO3 - and Fe3+. To balance the charges, we need three NO - ions for every Fe3+ ion. This gives us Fe(NO33 (iron (Ill) nitrate).
Therefore, the correct chemical equation for the reaction between AgNO® and FeCl® is:
AgNO3+ FeC3→ AgCI+Fe(NO3j
