The Lassaigne's extract is boiled with a concentration HNO₃ while testing for halogens. By doing so it:

1. Helps in the precipitation of AgCl.

2. Increases the solubility product of AgCl.

3. Increases the concentration of NO₃^- ions.

4. Decomposes Na₂S and NaCN, if formed.

Given is cyclohexanol (I), acetic acid (II), 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (III), and phenol (IV).

The order of decreasing acidic character will be

1. III > II > IV > I

2. II>III>I>IV

3. II > III > IV > I

4. III > IV > II > I
