Question

what is the role of hno3 in bromide ion detection

Answer 1

This test is carried out in a solution of halide ions. The solution is acidified by adding dilute nitric acid. The nitric acid reacts with, and removes, other ions that might also form precipitates with silver nitrate. Silver nitrate solution is then added, and the halide can be identified from the products.
