Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around various chemical reactions involving silver nitrate (AgNO3) and different ions, including sodium, iodide, carbonate, sulfide, bromide, and chromate. Participants are exploring the expected products of these reactions and the conditions under which they occur.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking, Conceptual clarification

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants are questioning the feasibility of reactions based on solubility rules and the formation of precipitates or gases. There are discussions about the expected products, particularly for reactions involving carbonate and chromate ions.

Discussion Status

Some participants have offered insights regarding the thermodynamic favorability of the reactions and the potential formation of precipitates. There is ongoing exploration of the correct charges on ions and the validity of certain reactions, with no clear consensus reached on all points.

Contextual Notes

Participants are navigating the complexities of ionic charges and solubility, with some expressing uncertainty about their chemistry knowledge. The original poster has requested hints rather than complete solutions, indicating a focus on guidance rather than direct answers.

Hi

I got these reactions I have some trouble with.

[itex]AgNO_{3} + Na^{+} \rightarrow NaNO_{3} + Ag^{+}[/itex]

[itex]AgNO_{3} + I^{-} \rightarrow AgI + NO_{3}[/itex]

[itex]AgNO_{3} + CO_{3}^{2-} \rightarrow (\textrm{The \ result \ ??})[/itex]

[itex]AgNO_{3} + S^{-} \rightarrow AgS + NO_{3}[/itex]

[itex]AgNO_{3} + Br^{-} \rightarrow AgBr + NO_{3}[/itex]

[itex]AgNO_3 + CrO_{4}^{2-} \rightarrow (\textrm{What \ happens here \??})[/itex]


Hope somebody can give me a hint :)

These reactions would be favored thermodynamically iff either a precipitate is formed or a gas is evolved (or both). For the last one, I think a precipitate of silver chromate should be formed. I wouldn't be too sure though...chem isn't my piece of cake really. The other thing you must keep in mind is discharge potentials (more accurately, Reduction Potentials). These can be found in the back of most general and physical chemistry texts.

This will definitely not happen. All nitrates are soluble, and anything joined to sodium is soluble. No reaction will take place.

[itex]AgNO_{3} + I^{-} \rightarrow AgI + NO_{3}[/itex]
Remember to put the charge on the NO3-.

[itex]AgNO_{3} + CO_{3}^{2-} \rightarrow (\textrm{The \ result \ ??})[/itex]
Ag2CO3 will form.

[itex]AgNO_{3} + S^{-} \rightarrow AgS + NO_{3}[/itex]
If I'm not mistaken, that sulphur should be 2- instead of -.

[itex]AgNO_{3} + Br^{-} \rightarrow AgBr + NO_{3}[/itex]
This looks right, but remember the charge on the nitrate.

Hi How about this one?
