Question

Which of the following will not give a white ppt. When $AgN{O}_3$ is added to the solution?

• A. $CC{l}_4$
• B. NaCl
• C. ${MgCl}_2$
• D. KCl

Answer 1

The correct option is A $CC{l}_4$

$C{Cl}_4$ will not give the white precipitate of $AgCl$ on heating it with $AgN{O}_3$.

Reason $\Rightarrow$ The bonding present in carbon and chlorine atoms is covalent and non-polar whereas to dissolve or to get white precipitate, compound should be polar nature or it should have ionic bond.
