Reaction+Four+Double+Displacement


 * __Double-Displacement Reactions__**

--> When the Ions of two compounds exchange places in an aqueous solution to form two new compounds. AX+ BY --> AY+ BX

__Sentence Form of Reaction:__

Silver Nitrate reacts with Sodium Chloride to form Silver Chloride and Sodium Nitrate.

__Conversion to Reaction:__

1) The symbols that represent each compound in the reaction have to replace the names of the compounds:

AgNO3 + NaCl --> AgCl + NaNO3 ; This reaction has Two elements replacing one another in differnet compounds, The Ag and the Na replacing eachother.

2) Next you need to find the charges of each element and compound in the reaction. The charge of Silver is -1, the charge of Nitrate is -1, the charge of Sodium is +1 and the charge of Chlorine is -1.

3) The "Switcheroo Method" doenst necessaceraly come into play in this reaction because of the fact that each element or compound has a charge of + or - 1. So there is no need to use any subscripts at the bottom right of any symbols because, 1 atom is already being represented.

__Balancing the Equation:__

4) When it comes to balancing this equation, your work is all set because of the fact that the equation is already balanced.


 * AgNO3 + NaCl --> AgCl +NaNO3** > This becomes the final formula for this Double-Displacement Reaction.
