AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around various reactions involving silver nitrate (AgNO3) and different ions. It is noted that AgNO3 does not react with Na+ due to the solubility of all nitrates. The formation of silver carbonate (Ag2CO3) is expected when reacting with CO3^2-, while AgI and AgBr are correctly identified as products of reactions with I- and Br-, respectively. There is uncertainty regarding the reaction with CrO4^2-, but a precipitate of silver chromate is suggested. Overall, the importance of understanding solubility and charge balance in these reactions is emphasized.

Hi

I got these reactions I have some trouble with.

AgNO_{3} + Na^{+} \rightarrow NaNO_{3} + Ag^{+}

AgNO_{3} + I^{-} \rightarrow AgI + NO_{3}

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

AgNO_{3} + S^{-} \rightarrow AgS + NO_{3}

AgNO_{3} + Br^{-} \rightarrow AgBr + NO_{3}

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


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.

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

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

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

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

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
