(d) Write the chemical equation of the reaction which takes place on reacting XNO3 solution and common salt solution giving the physical states of all the reactants and products.
(e) What type of chemical reaction is illustrated by the above equation?

(a) Silver (Ag) is a conductor of electricity that does not produce hydrogen when exposed to dilute hydrochloric acid.

(b) Silver nitrate (AgNO3) is XNO3 which reacts with NaCl (common salt) to give a white precipitate

(c) Silver chloride (AgCl), a white precipitate produced by the interaction of silver nitrate and sodium chloride, is the chemical Y.

(d) Chemical equation for the reaction involved is:

AgNO3(aq) + NaCl (aq)→  AgCl (s) + NaNO3 (aq)

(e) A double displacement reaction occurs when two compounds react and the positive and negative ions from the two reactants replace each other, resulting in the formation of new molecules.
