Will $CCl_4$ give a white precipitate of $AgCl$ on heating it with silver nitrate? Give a reason for your answer.
(N/A) When $CCl_4$ is heated with $AgNO_3$ solution,a white precipitate of $AgCl$ is not formed.
The reason is that $CCl_4$ is a covalent (nonpolar) organic compound.
Therefore,it does not ionize to provide $Cl^-$ ions,which are necessary for the formation of a white precipitate of $AgCl$.
Thus,the reaction $CCl_4 + AgNO_3 \rightarrow \text{No reaction}$ occurs.
