Solution
HgCl2 gives orange ppt with. KI which dissolves in excess of it forming K2HgI4 called.Nessler's reagent. Mercuric chloride reacts with potassium iodide to form orange ppt of mercuric iodide. HgCl2+2KI⟶HgI2orange↓ Mercuric iodide reacts with KI to form Nessler's reagent which is soluble in water. HgI2+2KI⟶K2HgI4soluble Nessler's reagent is used to idntify NH+4 ions. 2K2HgI4+4NaOH+NH4Cl→Hg2NH2OIbrownprecipitate+7NaI+KCl+3H2O
