Potassium chloride reacts with ammonium nitrate to give ammonium chloride and potassium nitrate.
This is a type of double displacement reaction. The balanced chemical equation can be represented as,
[tex]KCl(aq)+NH_{4}NO_{3}(aq)-->NH_{4}Cl(aq)+KNO_{3}(aq)[/tex]
Total ionic equation for this reaction will be,
[tex]K^{+}(aq)+Cl^{-}(aq)+NH_{4}^{+}(aq)+NO_{3}^{-}(aq)--> K^{+}(aq)+NO_{3}^{-}(aq)+NH_{4}^{+}(aq)+Cl^{-}(aq)[/tex]
There is no apparent reaction as this reaction is not accompanied by the formation of a gas or a solid precipitate. We cannot observe any visual reaction as there is not net reaction taking place. All the ions remain as spectator ions.
