Question

what is the correct equation in word form? mg + agno₃ → mgcl₂ + ag manganese reacts with silver nitrate forming manganese chloride and silver. magnesium reacts with silver nitride to form magnesium chlorine and silver. magnesium plus silver nitrate yields magnesium chloride and silver. manganese plus gold nitrate yields manganese chloride and gold.

Explanation:

• First, identify the chemical symbols: \(Mg\) is magnesium, not manganese (\(Mn\)) or gold (\(Au\)). So options with manganese or gold are incorrect.
• Second, \(AgNO_3\) is silver nitrate (\(NO_3^-\) is nitrate ion, not nitride \(N^{3 -}\)). And in chemical word equations, "plus" can be used for reactants and "yields" for products. \(MgCl_2\) is magnesium chloride (chloride \(Cl^-\), not chlorine which is \(Cl_2\) as an element).

Answer:

Magnesium plus silver nitrate yields magnesium chloride and silver.
