1.	When solution of silver nitrate and potassium bromide are mixed a pale yellow precipitate is formed. (i)(a)What is thename of the pale yellow precipitate? (b)Is it soluble or insoluble? (ii)Is the formation of silver bromide precipitate,a result of redox reaction or not"Justify your answer. (iii)What is this type of reaction called?
Answer» Solution :(i)(a)The pale yellow precipitate is silver BROMIDE (b)Silver bromide is sparingly soluble. (III)Yes ,the FORMATION of silver bromide precipitate is due to redox REACTION .`Ag^(-)` gains electron (reduction) and `Br^(-)` loses electron (oxidation).So it is a redox reaction. (iii)This reaction is double displacement reaction.
