Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In qualitative analysis, what does the presence of a white precipitate indicate when testing for chloride ions?
  • Step 1: Understand that we are testing for chloride ions in a solution.
  • Step 2: Add silver nitrate solution to the sample you are testing.
  • Step 3: Observe the reaction that occurs after adding silver nitrate.
  • Step 4: Look for a white precipitate that forms in the solution.
  • Step 5: If a white precipitate appears, it indicates that chloride ions are present in the solution.
