The Correct Answer and Explanation is :<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The balanced chemical equation for the single-displacement reaction between silver nitrate ((\\text{AgNO}_3)) and aluminum ((\\text{Al})) is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[
3\\text{AgNO}_3 + \\text{Al} \\rightarrow 3\\text{Ag} + \\text{Al(NO}_3)_3
]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1. Identifying the Type of Reaction<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This is a single-displacement reaction<\/strong>, where a more reactive metal (aluminum) displaces a less reactive metal (silver) from its compound (silver nitrate). In general, the reaction follows the pattern:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[
\\text{A} + \\text{BC} \\rightarrow \\text{AC} + \\text{B}
]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, aluminum (Al) replaces silver (Ag)<\/strong> in silver nitrate (AgNO\u2083), forming aluminum nitrate ((\\text{Al(NO}_3)_3)) and elemental silver ((\\text{Ag})).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Writing the Unbalanced Equation<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Initially, the reaction can be written as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[
\\text{AgNO}_3 + \\text{Al} \\rightarrow \\text{Ag} + \\text{Al(NO}_3)_3
]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Balancing the Equation<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Balance Ag (Silver):<\/strong> Since aluminum forms (\\text{Al(NO}_3)_3), it donates three electrons<\/strong>, meaning three Ag atoms<\/strong> must be produced.
    [
    3\\text{AgNO}_3 + \\text{Al} \\rightarrow 3\\text{Ag} + \\text{Al(NO}_3)_3
    ]<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Check for Nitrate Ions ((\\text{NO}_3)):<\/strong> On both sides, there are three nitrate ((\\text{NO}_3)) groups<\/strong>, so they are already balanced.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Check the Overall Charge and Atoms:<\/strong> Everything is balanced.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    4. Explanation of the Reaction<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Aluminum is more reactive than silver<\/strong>, based on the activity series of metals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Al donates three electrons<\/strong> to form Al\u00b3\u207a<\/strong>, and each Ag\u207a ion gains one electron<\/strong> to form solid silver metal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • The nitrate ion ((\\text{NO}_3^-)) remains unchanged<\/strong> because it is a spectator ion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      This reaction demonstrates metal reactivity, redox principles, and practical applications in silver extraction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
