Silver chloride is made by reacting aqueous silver nitrate with dilute hydrochloric acid. Describe how to obtain a pure, dry sample of silver chloride from aqueous silver nitrate and dilute hydrochloric acid.
Write the ionic equation, complete with state symbols, for this reaction.
Silver chloride breaks down when light is present to form silver and chlorine. What is the name of the reaction type that needs light?
Construct the equation showing the decomposition of silver chloride.
Silver nitrate may be made by reacting silver oxide with dilute nitric acid. $\text{Ag}_2\text{O} + 2\text{HNO}_3 \rightarrow 2\text{AgNO}_3 + \text{H}_2\text{O}$ An excess of silver oxide is treated with $30.0\,\text{cm}^3$ of $0.150\,\text{mol dm}^{-3}$ nitric acid. Once purified, the percentage yield of silver nitrate is $80.0\%$. Calculate the mass of silver nitrate prepared. Give your answer to three significant figures. $[M_r: \text{AgNO}_3, 170]$
