Question 47 Rapport

Détails de la réponse
The solution of a sample in a tube will be identified as a chloride if it gives a white precipitate when acidified with dilute HNO3 and then AgNO3 solution is added. This is because the test is a confirmatory test for chloride ions, and the white precipitate formed is silver chloride (AgCl). Chloride ions react with silver nitrate (AgNO3) to form a white precipitate of AgCl, which is insoluble in water and dilute nitric acid.
