What happens when \(CCl_4\) is treated with \(AgNO_3\) solution? |
A white precipitate of \(AgCl\) will be formed \(NO_2\) will be evolved \(CCl_4\) will dissolve in \(AgNO_3\) solution Nothing will happen |
Nothing will happen |
The correct answer is (4) nothing will happen. \(CCl_4\) is a non-polar compound, while \(AgNO_3\) is an ionic compound. Therefore, \(CCl_4\) will not dissolve in \(AgNO_3\) solution, and no reaction will take place. Option (1) a white precipitate of \(AgCl\) will be formed, is incorrect because \(CCl_4\) does not react with \(AgNO_3\) to form \(AgCl\). Option (2) \(NO_2\) will be evolved, is incorrect because NO2 is not produced when \(CCl_4\) is treated with \(AgNO_3\). Option (3) \(CCl_4\) will dissolve in \(AgNO_3\) solution, is incorrect because \(CCl_4\) is a non-polar compound and \(AgNO_3\) is an ionic compound, so they will not mix. Therefore, the only possible outcome when \(CCl_4\) is treated with \(AgNO_3\) solution is that nothing will happen. |
