Silver Chromate Balanced Equation

Silver chromate is a chemical compound with the molecular formula Ag2CrO4. It is an insoluble salt that is most commonly used as a yellow pigment in paints and dyes.

The balanced equation for the formation of silver chromate can be written as follows:

2 AgNO3(aq) + K2CrO4(aq) → Ag2CrO4(s) + 2 KNO3(aq)

In this equation, silver nitrate (AgNO3) reacts with potassium chromate (K2CrO4) to form silver chromate (Ag2CrO4) and potassium nitrate (KNO3). The coefficients in front of each compound indicate the number of moles of that compound needed in order for the reaction to occur in a stoichiometrically balanced manner.

It is important to note that this equation assumes that the reaction takes place in an aqueous solution. In reality, silver chromate is typically formed as a precipitate when solutions of silver nitrate and potassium chromate are mixed together. The precipitate can then be filtered out of the solution and washed with water to remove any soluble impurities before being dried and used as a pigment.
