A white solid called silver chloride is formed when silver nitrate is added to a solution of cobalt chloride. This reaction is a double displacement reaction where the silver ions from silver nitrate replace the chloride ions from cobalt chloride to form the insoluble silver chloride precipitate.
The chemical formula AgCl is for silver chloride.
The silver nitrate solution (AgNO3) provides the silver in silver chloride.
The molar mass of silver chloride (AgCl) is 143.32 g/mol. Therefore, one mole of silver chloride is equal to 143.32 grams.
Silver chloride (AgCl) is insoluble in both cold and hot water.
