What occurs when hydrochloric acid is added to silver nitrate solution?

Answer 1

Do you mean.........................

#"what occurs when HCl is added to silver nitrate solution??"#

Well we would observe the deposit of a curdy white precipitate of #"silver chloride"#, which reaction we could represent by the equation.......

#AgNO_3(aq) + HCl(aq) rarr AgCl(s)darr + HNO_3(aq)#

I understand that you might have had a different meaning in mind.

The addition of hydrochloric acid to silver nitrate solution causes a chemical reaction that yields a white precipitate of silver chloride, which can be represented by the following chemical equation: AgNO3 (aq) + HCl (aq) -> AgCl (s) + HNO3 (aq). The precipitate of silver chloride is a milky white solid that is insoluble in water and is frequently used in chemistry experiments to verify the presence of chloride ions in a solution.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
