Question Question 4(2010)
How would you distinguish between dilute HCl and dilute HNO3, by addition of only one solution.
When silver nitrate soln. is added to dil. HCl, curdy white ppt. of silver chloride is formed. Whereas, there is no reaction when silver nitrate soln. is added to dil. HNO3.
AgNO3 + HCl ⟶ AgCl (white ppt.) + HNO3
AgNO3 + HNO3 ⟶ no reaction
