Question

Give a chemical test to distinguish between sodium chloride solution and sodium nitrate solution

Answer 1

Answer:

just follow the given below steps:-

• take both of these solutions in 2 separate beakers
• but small amount of silver nitrate in both the beaker.
• the beaker in which reaction begins to took place is sodium chloride

logic

1. sodium chloride reacts with silver nitrate to form insoluble white precipitate of silver chloride.
2. silvernitrate and sodium nitrate have same anion hence they do not react with each other.
