25 mL of silver nitrate solution ( 1 M ) is added dropwise to 25 mL of potassium iodide ( 1 . 05 M ) solution. The ion(s) present in very small quantity in the solution is/are
Options
- AI - only
- BK + only
- CNO 3 - only
- DAg + and I - both
Correct answer
D. Ag + and I - both
Step-by-step solution
To determine the ion(s) present in very small quantity in the solution, we need to consider the chemical reaction that occurs when silver nitrate reacts with potassium iodide. The reaction between AgNO 3 and KI is a double replacement reaction and can be represented as follows: AgNO 3   +   KI   →   AgI   +   KNO 3 Millimoles of AgNO 3   =   25 Millimoles of KI   =   25   ×   1 . 05 = 26 . 25 ∴ KI is in excess & AgI forms negatively charge
