Question

What happens when $CC{l}_4$ is treated with $AgN{O}_3$?

• A. $N{O}_2$ will be evolved
• B. A white ppt of $AgCl$ will be formed
• C. $CC{l}_4$ will dissolve in $AgN{O}_3$
• D. Nothing will happen

Answer 1

The correct option is D Nothing will happen

$CC{l}_4+AgN{O}_3\to \text{No reaction}$

$CC{l}_4$ is a covalent compound, therefore does not provide $C{l}^{-}$ ions.
