Question

Mixing which of the following pairs of solutions will result in the formation of a precipitate?
Options
A NaCl and KNO₃
B AgNO₃ and NaI
Correct Answer
C K₂SO₄ and CuCl₂
D NH₄Cl and Na₂CO₃
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

AgNO₃ and NaI react to form AgI, which is insoluble in water (a yellow precipitate). The other pairs would form products that are all soluble.

Hint

Use solubility rules. Silver halides (except AgF) are generally insoluble.
