AI Generated Solution

To explain why the presence of chlorine in a compound cannot be detected by adding AgNO3 (silver nitrate) solution to sodium extract if the compound contains nitrogen, we can break down the reasoning into several steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Components**: The compound in question contains both chlorine (Cl) and nitrogen (N). When we prepare a sodium extract from this compound, it will contain sodium salts of both chlorine and nitrogen. 2. **Formation of Sodium Extract**: When the compound is treated with sodium, it forms sodium chloride (NaCl) from chlorine and sodium cyanide (NaCN) from nitrogen. Thus, the sodium extract will contain both NaCl and NaCN. ...
