Question

1. Suppose you had an unknown solution that contained either dissolved NaCL, or NaNO3. You added AgNO3 to the unknown solution and observed that no solid forms. What can be concluded about the unknown solution? (use the solubility rules)

Answer 1

You can conclude that no chemical reaction occurred and that the elements did not create new substance. Basically, the solution isn't a new substance. The only way you know a new substance has formed is if a solid forms, light is given off, change in temperature, an odor is given off, bubbles form, and if the substance changes color.
