Precipitation of Ag?

1 ⤊

I have to adding HCI to a solution of AgNO3 and CH3CN. If there is a precipitation I suppose that AgNO3 and CH3CN did not react. Is it true?

AgNO3 and CH3CN will not react. That is why you get the silver precipitate when you add HCl.

AgCl could be the precipitate since it is insoluble.

No, they did react, the precipitate is AgCN.
