Why does NaCl give a white precipitate w...

Why does `NaCl` give a white precipitate with `AgNO_(3)` solution but `C Cl_(4)` does not ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`NaCl` is an ionic compound and gives `Cl^(-)` ions in the solution. These `Cl^(-)` ions react with `Ag^(+)` ions given by `AgNO_(3)` to form a white precipitate of `AgCl`.
`Cl^(-)(" from "NaCl)+Ag^(+)(" from "AgNO_(3))rarr underset("White ppt.")(AgCl)`
However, `C Cl_(4)` is a covalent compound and does not give `Cl^(-)` ions to react with `Ag^(+) (or AgNO_(3))`.
