Which of the following tests does AgCl not answer?(a) Chromyl chloride test(b) Baeyer’s reagent test(c) Alkaline test(d) Acidic testThis question was addressed to me by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.Origin of the question is D and F-Block Elements in division D and F-Block Elements of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

Correct answer is (a) Chromyl CHLORIDE test

The explanation: Chromyl chloride test is done for detecting the presence of Cl^– ions. The chlorides of silver, lead, mercury and antimony are covalent in NATURE and thus do not GENERATE Cl^– ions and so they do not give the chromyl chloride test also. So, HEAVY metal chlorides don’t give this test because they are not ionic.
