We did these experiments in class and one of the combinations of solutions did not produce any visible change. Could you conclude that no reaction took place? Explain.
The reactants were: sodium chloride and potassium nitrate
Please and thank you.

Possible explanations would be highly appreciated as well. =)

okay, im prety sure that no reaction took place. sodium nitrate and potassium chloride im pretty sure are both soluble, so therefore i really dont thnk htere was a reaction especially if the compounds only dissolvde and didnt form a solid precipitate

sodium chloride and potassium nitrate
Adding colorless sodium chloride to colorless potassium nitrate results in no reaction, no precipitate and a colorless solution.
Solution A: 0.2 M sodium chloride (colorless)
Solution B: 0.2 M potassium nitrate (colorless)
Precipitate: none. Resulting solution: (colorless)
KNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) --> No Reaction
Look at the sixth one down on this page. In the future just put reaction of " X and Y" in your browser and check it out....

I would be surprised to know there was or should have been a reaction between these two compounds. The fact that no apparent change occurs is evidence, though not proof, of this.
