The precipitate formed when an aqueous solution of lithium bromide is reacted with an aqueous solution of silver nitrate is _____. A) LiBr B) AgBr C) LiNO₃ D) AgNO₃ E) LiAg

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When lithium bromide is added to silver nitrate, a double displacement reaction occurs. The balanced chemical equation is:

LiBr + AgNO3 -> AgBr + LiNO3

The products of the reaction are silver bromide (AgBr) and lithium nitrate (LiNO3). AgBr is insoluble in water and will form a precipitate. Therefore, the precipitate formed is AgBr (choice B).
