What is the net ionic equation for the reaction of aqueous AgNO₃ with aqueous NaCl?

A.Ag⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq) → AgCl(s)
B.AgNO₃(aq) + NaCl(aq) → AgCl(s) + NaNO₃(aq)
C.Ag⁺ + NO₃⁻ → AgNO₃
D.Na⁺ + Cl⁻ → NaCl

Explanation

Core Concept

AgCl precipitates while Na⁺ and NO₃⁻ remain dissolved spectators. Removing them leaves the two ions that actually combine, balanced in charge and mass.

Correct Answer

AAg⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq) → AgCl(s)
