    The Lassaigne's extract is boiled with dil \[HN{{O}_{3}}\]before testing for halogens because

    A)  Silver halides are soluble in \[HN{{O}_{3}}\]

    B)  \[N{{a}_{2}}S\] and \[NaCN\] are decomposed by \[HN{{O}_{3}}\]

    C)  \[A{{g}_{2}}CN\] is soluble in \[HN{{O}_{3}}\]

    D)  \[AgCN\] is soluble in \[HN{{O}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[HN{{O}_{3}}\] is added to decompose \[N{{a}_{2}}S\] and \[NaCN\]otherwise \[N{{a}_{2}}S\] will give black ppt. of \[A{{g}_{2}}S\] and \[NaCN\] will white ppt. of \[AgCN\] which would interfere with the test of Halogens.
