A piece of solid tin is submerged in silver nitrate solution. A reaction occurs producing tin (iv) nitrate solution and solid silver. Write the word equation, write the skeletal equation and balanced chemical equation for the reaction.

For the given reaction-

The word equation is Tin + silver nitrate = tin (IV) nitrate + silverThe skeletal equation is The balanced chemical equation is  

Explanation:

When names of chemicals or species involved in a chemical reaction are represented in the form of an equation then it is known as a word equation.

For example, Tin + silver nitrate = tin (IV) nitrate + silver

The 'equal to' symbol denotes a forward arrow.

A skeletal equation contains only the chemical formula of species involved in a chemical reaction.

For example,

A chemical equation which contains same number of atoms on both reactant and product side along with states of species is called a balanced chemical equation.
