Question

 Information about some silver compounds is shown.

Which equation shows a reaction which cannot be used to make a silver salt?
A. \(AgNO_{3}(aq)+HC\imath (aq)\rightarrow AgC\imath (s)+HNO_{3}(aq)\)
B. \(Ag_{2}O(s)+2HNO_{3}(aq)\rightarrow 2AgNO_{3}(aq)+H_{2}O(l)\)
C. \(Ag_{2}CO_{3}(s)+2HNO_{3}(aq)\rightarrow 2AgNO_{3}(aq)+H_{2}O(l)+CO_{2}(g)\)
D. \(2Ag(s)+2HC\imath (aq)\rightarrow 2AgC\imath (s)+H_{2}(g)\)

Answer/Explanation

Ans:

D

Question

An acid is neutralized by adding an excess of an insoluble solid base.

A soluble salt is formed.

How is the pure salt obtained from the reaction mixture?
