Answer

a. No reaction. b. $2 NaCl(aq) + Hg_2(C_2H_3O_2)_2(aq) \longrightarrow 2 NaC_2H_3O_2(aq) + Hg_2Cl_2(s)$ c. $(NH_4)_2SO_4(aq) + SrCl_2(aq) \longrightarrow 2 NH_4Cl(aq) + SrSO_4(s)$ d. $NH_4Cl(aq) + AgNO_3(aq) \longrightarrow AgCl(s) + NH_4NO_3(aq)$

Work Step by Step

1. Determine the resulting ionic compounds by switching the anions (or cations): a. $NaCl$ and $KNO_3$ b. $NaC_2H_3O_2$ and $Hg_2Cl_2$ c. $NH_4Cl$ and $SrSO_4$ d. $NH_4NO_3$ and $AgCl$ 2. Determine if they are soluble or insoluble. a. Both are soluble. b. $Hg_2Cl_2$ is insoluble. c. $SrSO_4$ is insoluble. d. $AgCl$ is insoluble. 3. If both compounds are soluble, there will be no reaction. If some are insoluble, there will occur their precipitation. Do not forget to balance the reaction. a. No reaction. b. $2 NaCl(aq) + Hg_2(C_2H_3O_2)_2(aq) \longrightarrow 2 NaC_2H_3O_2(aq) + Hg_2Cl_2(s)$ c. $(NH_4)_2SO_4(aq) + SrCl_2(aq) \longrightarrow 2 NH_4Cl(aq) + SrSO_4(s)$ d. $NH_4Cl(aq) + AgNO_3(aq) \longrightarrow AgCl(s) + NH_4NO_3(aq)$
