    What happens if \[\text{CC}{{\text{l}}_{\text{4}}}\] is treated with \[\text{AgN}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}?\]

    A) A white ppt. of \[\text{AgCl}\] will form

    B) \[\text{N}{{\text{O}}_{2}}\] will be evolved

    C) \[\text{CC}{{\text{l}}_{\text{4}}}\] will dissolve in \[\text{AgN}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}\]

    D) Nothing will happen

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[\text{CC}{{\text{l}}_{\text{4}}}\]is a covalent compound, therefore, it does not ionize to give \[\text{C}{{\text{l}}^{-}}\]ions and hence, it does not give white ppt. of \[\text{AgCl}\]when treated with \[\text{AgN}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}\]solution. There is no reaction to evolve \[\text{N}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\text{.CC}{{\text{l}}_{\text{4}}}\]will form a separate layer as it is immiscible with water.
