Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following ions can be detected using a silver nitrate test?
  • Step 1: Understand that a silver nitrate test is used to detect certain ions in a solution.
  • Step 2: Know that chloride ions (Cl-) are one of the ions that can be detected using this test.
  • Step 3: When silver nitrate (AgNO3) is added to a solution containing chloride ions, a chemical reaction occurs.
  • Step 4: This reaction produces a white solid called silver chloride (AgCl), which is a precipitate.
  • Step 5: The formation of this white precipitate indicates the presence of chloride ions in the solution.
