Answer 2

Explanation:

1. In soda ash tube take two three pieces of sodium metal and heat them until they get melt.Now add 6 - 8 pinches of organic compound to that and again heat it it until the bottom of tube becomes red hot. Chlorine atom present in the compound will get fused with sodium metal to give sodium chloride.

$Na+Cl\rightarrow NaCl$

2. Crush the soda ash tube in china dish filled with water carefully and boil the content.After boiling filter it out.

3. Take small of amount filtered solution in a test tube and add silver nitrate  solution which will give white color precipitate of silver nitrate soluble in liquid ammonia.

$NaCl(aq)+AgNO_3(aq)\rightarrow AgCl(s)+NaNO_3(aq)$
