Q14 / 90 · JEE Main 2023 (25 Jan Shift 2) · Chemistry

A chloride salt solution acidified with dil. HNO3  gives a curdy white precipitate, [A], on addition of AgNO3. [A] on treatment with NH4OH gives a clear solution, B.

  • A
    HAgCl3&AgNH32Cl
  • B
    HAgCl3 & NH4Ag(OH)2
  • Correct answer
    C
    AgCl & AgNH32Cl
  • D
    AgCl & NH4Ag(OH)2

Solution

Salt solution acidified with dilute HNO3 on addition of silver nitrate gives a curdy white precipitate soluble in ammonium hydroxide solution. This indicates the presence of Cl- ions in the salt.
