Identify the spectator ions in the following molecular equation. KCl(aq)+ AgNO₃(aq)→ AgCl(s)+ KNO₃(aq) A) Ag⁺ and Cl^- B) K⁺ and NO₃^- C) K⁺ and Cl^- D) Ag⁺ and NO₃^- E) There are no spectator ions in this reaction.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Spectator ions are ions that do not participate in the chemical reaction and remain in solution unchanged. In the given reaction, K^+ and NO_3^- are the spectator ions because they do not form part of the solid product and remain in the aqueous phase.
