Putting Products into Chemical Equation as Reactants help

[True Dat]

Hi.
If I had a chemical equation where the product was 2Ag(NO3) and it then said the product was reacted with excess silver chloride would the reactant of the second equation be 2Ag(NO3) or Ag(NO3)?

Thanks
PS: If someone could tell me if my chemical equation that I attached is correct with reference to the text would be much appreciated

Hi!

1) Whether or not it would be AgNO₃ or 2AgNO₃ would be dependent on whether the resulting chemical equation is balanced. In this case, AgNO₃ reacts with NaCl in a 1:1 molar ratio, so the reactant would be AgNO₃.

2) The state for nitric acid should be aqueous, not liquid. Silver nitrate is soluble (as all nitrates are soluble), so its state should be aqueous.

Hope this helps

you would just have to be aware of the ratio between the products of the first reaction and the reactants of the second reaction if you were trying to calculate mol/concentration

So would I start with AgNO3(s) + NaCl(aq) ---> AgCl + NaNO3 and balance it from there? Or would it be 2AgNO3(s) + NaCl(aq) ---> products .
I think it's the first one but I remember reading that it was only subscripts that were not taken over :/
Thanks for the help

As Jess and Wilba have said, the 2 doesn't tell you anything about what the reactant is, just the amount there is compared to the other things in that particular  equation (it doesn't give you any information about what number it will have in the other reaction.

Oh, wow I understand now haha. I tend to understand direct statements better. Thanks for the clarification everyone
