Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which ion is typically detected using a silver nitrate test?
  • Step 1: Understand that a silver nitrate test is a chemical test.
  • Step 2: Know that this test is used to find certain ions in a solution.
  • Step 3: Identify that the ion we are looking for in this test is chloride (Cl-).
  • Step 4: When silver nitrate (AgNO3) is added to a solution containing chloride ions, a reaction occurs.
  • Step 5: This reaction produces a white solid called silver chloride (AgCl).
  • Step 6: The formation of this white precipitate indicates the presence of chloride ions.
