Potassium chloride and silver acetate react to produce silver chloride and potassium acetate. Which reaction has occurred?

The reaction you describe in words is:
KCl + AgCH3CO2 → AgCl + KCH3CO2
This type of reaction is known as a "double replacement reaction" aka "double displacement reaction" aka "metathesis reaction." A double replacement reaction is a chemical reaction where two reactant ionic compounds exchange ions to form two new products compounds with the same ions.
In this case the ions are K+ , Cl-, Ag+ and C2H3O2−. Note that potassium chloride (KCl), silver acetate (AgCH3CO2) and potassium acetate (KCH3CO2) are all quite soluble in water. Silver chloride (AgCl) is not particularly soluble in water (520 μg/100 g at 50 °C) and will precipitate out as the reaction occurs.

What is the reaction between sodium chloride and potassium oxide?
This reaction doesn't occur.
Why wouldn't you use potassium to make potassium chloride?
The reaction between potassium and hydrochloric acid is very violent, even explosive. On contact with the acid the reaction rapidly releases heat and hydrogen gas, which ignites. This in turn sets the potassium on fire. When this happens the potassium may explode, scattering flaming molten globules of metal.
What is potassium hydroxide solution plus ammonium chloride?
A reaction doesn't occur.
When potassium chloride is mixed with ammonia and ammonium fluoride what happens?
Any reaction occur.
What is the resulting reaction of KOH plus F2?
HCl + KOH --> KCl + H2O Hydrochloric Acid + Potassium Hydroxide --> Potassium Chloride + Water.
If a combination reaction takes place between potassium and chlorine what is the product?
Potassium chloride
What is the formula unit for potassium sulfate and barium chloride are mixed to form potassium chloride and barium sulfate?
The formula unit for the formation of potassium chloride and barium sulfate is one mole. One unit of potassium sulfate and barium chloride are required for the reaction.
Is there a chemical reaction if potassium chloride is mixed with sodium chloride?
No chemical reaction, only a solution containing ions of potassium, sodium and chlorine.
Would a reaction occur if you mixed potassium chloride with iodine?
No - there would be a reaction though if Chlorine and Potassium Iodide were mixed
Will calcium chloride and potassium react?
Yes. The potassium will replace the calcium in the calcium chloride, producing potassium chloride and calcium. This is an example of a single replacement/displacement reaction. CaCl2 + 2K --> 2KCl + Ca
If siler nitrate was added to potassium chloride how would you know that the residue was potassium chloride?
The reaction is: AgNO3 + KCl = AgCl + KNO3The precipitate is silver chloride.
Is there a reaction between ammonium chloride and potassium hydroxide?
No.If you add ammonium chloride solution to potassium chloride solution all that happens is a solution with all the ions in it - ammonium ions, potassium ions, chloride ions and hydroxide ions.
What are the products of the double-replacement reaction between potassium chloride and silver acetate?
The products are Silver chloride (a white precipitate) and potassium ethanoate (acetate). NB THis is a classic test for halides.
What is the reaction between sodium chloride and potassium oxide?
This reaction doesn't occur.
What is the reaction between dilute hydrochloric acid and potassium?
The reaction formed will be potassium chloride and hydrogen gas will be liberated. - KJ so cool!
What is the reaction between benzoyl chloride and potassium thiocyanate?
benzoylisothiocyanate
