Question : 29 of 40
Marks: +1, -0
Will CCl4\mathrm{CCl}_4 give white precipitate of AgCl on heating it with silver nitrate? Give reason for your answer.
Solution:  
AgNO3\mathrm{AgNO}_3 solution is ionic in nature. It contains Ag+\mathrm{Ag}^{+} ions which when react with Cl\mathrm{Cl}^{-} ions produce a white ppt. of AgCl. In CCl4\mathrm{CCl}_4 the Cl atoms are covalent in nature. They are not present as ions. Therefore, when AgNO3\mathrm{AgNO}_3 is added it, it does not produce a white ppt. of AgCl.
