Give a chemical test to distinguish between the following pairs of chemicals:(i) Lead nitrate solution and zinc nitrate solution. (ii) Sodium chloride solution and sodium nitrate solution. |
|
Answer» (i) Add aqueous hydrochloric acid solution to the solution of lead nitrate and solution of zinc nitrate prepared separately. The solution of lead nitrate would give a white precipitate of PbCl2 whereas there would be no reaction with zinc nitrate solution. Pb2+ + 2Cl- ---> PbCl2(↓) (ii) Add aqueous solution of silver nitrate (AgNO3) to the solution of sodium chloride and solution of sodium nitrate prepared separately. The solution of sodium chloride would give a white precipitate of AgCl whereas there would be no reaction with sodium nitrate solution. |
