Question

6 multiple choice 1 point what are the products for the reaction of: zn + agno₃ no₃ag + zn znag + no₃ ag + zn₂(no₃) ag + zn(no₃)₂

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the reaction type

This is a single - displacement reaction where zinc (Zn) is more reactive than silver (Ag) and will displace silver from silver nitrate ($AgNO_3$).

Step2: Write the balanced chemical equation

The general form of a single - displacement reaction is $A + BC
ightarrow AC + B$. For $Zn+AgNO_3$, zinc will form a compound with nitrate. Zinc has a common oxidation state of + 2, and nitrate is $NO_3^-$. So the product with zinc will be $Zn(NO_3)_2$, and silver will be displaced as the free element Ag. The balanced chemical equation is $Zn + 2AgNO_3
ightarrow 2Ag+Zn(NO_3)_2$.

Answer:

D. $Ag + Zn(NO_3)_2$
