Will CCl4 give white precipitate of AgCl on heating it with silver nitrate? Give reason for your answer.

Solution:

AgNO3 solution is ionic in nature. It contains Ag+ ions which when react with Cl– ions produce a white ppt. of AgCl. In CCl4 the Cl atoms are covalent in nature. They are not present as ions. Therefore, when AgNO3 is added it, it does not produce a white ppt. of AgCl.
