When silver nitrate (AgNO3) reacts with potassium chloride (KCl), a double displacement reaction occurs. The silver ions (Ag+) in AgNO3 switch places with the potassium ions (K+) in KCl to form silver chloride (AgCl) and potassium nitrate (KNO3). This reaction is represented by the chemical equation: AgNO3 + KCl → AgCl + KNO3. Silver chloride is a white precipitate that forms when the two solutions are mixed, while potassium nitrate remains soluble in water.
