When the aqueous solution of silver nitrate and sodium chloride are mixed, a________ precipitate is immediately formed.

A

yellow

B

white

C

red

D

black

When silver nitrate(AgNO3​)reacts with sodium chloride(NaCl)a white precipitate of silver chloride(AgCl)is formed which is highly insoluble in water, along with formation of sodium nitrate(NaNO3​).Since(AgCl)is insoluble in water it will precipitate out and(NaNO3​)is soluble in water so it will remain dissolved in the mixture. This reaction is an example of double displacement reaction and it occurs as follows:-
AgNO3​+NaCl→AgCl+NaNO3​
Hence, the correct answer is the option (B).
