Question

Pure chloroform does not give a white ppt with $AgN{O}_3$ as:

• A. It does not ionise to give chloride ion.
• B. It forms a soluble complex.
• C. It is immiscible with the solution.
• D. $AgN{O}_3$ solution is weak in conc.

Answer 1

The correct option is A It does not ionise to give chloride ion.

White ppt. will be obtained when $AgCl$ forms in solution but as $CHC{l}_3$ is covalent compound so it doesn't provide chloride ion to react with $AgN{O}_3$ and white ppt will not form.

Option A is correct.
