Question
Distinguish between the following:
Dilute HCl and dilute HNO3 [using silver nitrate solution]
Advertisements
Solution
We can distinguish between dilute HCl and dilute HNO3 using silver nitrate. Dilute HCl reacts with silver nitrate solution to give a white precipitate of silver chloride. On the other hand, dilute HNO3 does not react with silver nitrate. The reaction of HCl with AgNO3 is given below:
\[\ce{HCl + AgNO3 -> AgCl (↓) + HNO3}\]
