Question

what does the formation of a cloudy white mixture when silver nitrate is added to a solution of sodium chloride indicate about the chemical reaction? the reaction changes in color. the reaction forms a precipitate. the reaction changes in energy or temperature.

Explanation:

When silver nitrate ($AgNO_3$) reacts with sodium chloride ($NaCl$), silver chloride ($AgCl$) is formed as an insoluble solid that appears as a cloudy - white mixture. This insoluble solid is a precipitate. A color change is not the main indication here, and there is no information suggesting a change in energy or temperature from the formation of the cloudy - white mixture.

Answer:

The reaction forms a precipitate.
