Solution Steps

Step 1: Analyze the given chemical equation

The given chemical equation is:

XCl₂(aq) + AgNO₃(aq) → X(NO₃)₂(aq) + AgCl(s)

The reactants are XCl₂(aq) and AgNO₃(aq). The products are X(NO₃)₂(aq) and AgCl(s).

Step 2: Balance the chemical equation

To balance the equation, we need to have the same number of each type of atom on both sides of the equation.

  1. Balance the Cl atoms: There are 2 Cl atoms on the left side and 1 Cl atom on the right side. Multiply AgCl by 2:

XCl₂(aq) + AgNO₃(aq) → X(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2AgCl(s)

  1. Balance the Ag atoms: There is 1 Ag atom on the left side and 2 Ag atoms on the right side. Multiply AgNO₃ by 2:

XCl₂(aq) + 2AgNO₃(aq) → X(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2AgCl(s)

  1. Balance the NO₃⁻ ions: There are 2 NO₃⁻ ions on the left and 2 NO₃⁻ ions on the right, so they are balanced.

  2. Balance the X atoms: There is 1 X atom on both sides, so it's balanced.

The balanced equation is:

XCl₂(aq) + 2AgNO₃(aq) → X(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2AgCl(s)

Final Answer

The balanced chemical equation is \\(\boxed{XCl_2(aq) + 2AgNO_3(aq) \rightarrow X(NO_3)_2(aq) + 2AgCl(s)}\\).
