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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Both NaCl and `AgNOO_(3)` are ionic solids and they readily dissociate to form ions in solution. `Ag^(+)` ions combine with `Cl^(-)` ions to give white precipitate of AgCl. But `C Cl_(4)` is covalent compound and does not give `Cl^(-)` ions in solution. Therefore, no reaction is possible between `C Cl_(4)` and `AgNO_(3)`
