NaCl((aq)) gives a white precipitate wit...

`NaCl_((aq))` gives a white precipitate with `AgNO_(3)` solution but `C Cl_(4) or CHCl_(3)` does not , because

A

NaCl is a covalent compound and forms AgCl as white ppt.

B

NaCl is an ionic compound and forms AgCl as white ppt.

C

`C Cl_(4) and CHCl_(3)` are ionic compound.

D

none of these.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
NaCl being an ionic compound and thus reacts with `AgNO_(3(aq))` to give ionic reaction , forming AgCl as white ppt. `C Cl_(4) and CHCl_(3)` being covalent do not furnish `Cl^(-)` ions in solution.
`NaCl + AgNO_(3) to AgCl + NaNO_(3)`
