Question 12.29: Will CCl4 give white precipitate of AgCl on heating it with silver nitrate? Give reason for your answer.
CCl4 will not give the white precipitate of AgCl on heating it with silver nitrate. This is because the chlorine atoms are covalently bonded to carbon in CCl4. To obtain the precipitate, it should be present in ionic form and for this, it is necessary to prepare the Lassaigne’s extract of CCl4.
