Lassaigne's extract of `p-`nitrochlorobenzene is acidified with dil. `HNO_(3)` and then treated with silver nitrate solution, the white precipitate formed is due to

A

`AgCl`

B

`AgCN`

C

Both `(a)` and `(b)`

D

no white ppt. is obtained

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c
Lassaigne's extract for the compound `p-`nitrochlorobenzene contains both `NaCN` as well as `NaCl`, so on treatment with `AgNO_(3)` , the extract gives precipitate of `AgCN` as well as `AgCl` unless it is boiled with `HNO_(3)` which will remove `NaCN` as gaseous `HCN`.
