Chemistry Summative

Observation

Reactants:                            AgNO3  + K2CrO4  

The potassium chromate in it’s liquid is a yellow, translucent and soluble.

The silver nitrate in it’s liquid form is a clear and translucent.

Reaction:

The reaction happened instantly after a drop of silver nitrate was added into the potassium chromate . The silver nitrate turn into a brownish-red opaque solid inside the potassium.  

Product:                             

The silver chromate is brownish-red opaque solid

The potassium nitrate is clear and translucent liquid

 

After Reaction:

After 12 hours the silver chromate would sink to the bottom and the potassium nitrate would be at the top.

Conclusion and Analysis

Type of Change:

The chemical change

Balance Equation:

It is a double replacement reaction

AgNO3  + K2CrO4  ---> AgCrO4  +  K2NO3

- It is a mechanical mixture because we can clearly still see the brownish-red substance inside the clear translucent liquid

-It is a double replacement reaction because the potassium wants to lose an electron while the nitrate wants to gain an electron
