Discussion
| Precipitate | Color | Moles/L |
|---|---|---|
| AgOH | brown | 8.2 x 10-5 |
| AgCl | white | 1.3 x 10-5 |
| AgBr | yellow | 8.8 x 10-7 |
| AgI | yellow | 1.2 x 10-8 |
Does AgCl form a yellow precipitate?
The absence of a precipitate with fluoride ions is unhelpful unless it is known that a halogen is present; otherwise, it indicates that there is no chloride, bromide, or iodide….Using silver nitrate solution.
| ion present | observation |
|---|---|
| Cl- | white precipitate |
| Br- | very pale cream precipitate |
| I- | very pale yellow precipitate |
What is the color of the precipitate?
The formation of a precipitate can be caused by a chemical reaction. When a barium chloride solution reacts with sulphuric acid, a white precipitate of barium sulfate is formed. When a potassium iodide solution reacts with a lead(II) nitrate solution, a yellow precipitate of lead(II) iodide is formed.
What is the precipitate of AgCl?
In the above reaction, a white precipitate called silver chloride or AgCl is formed which is in the solid state. This solid silver chloride is insoluble in water.
Is AgCl Colourless?
AgCl and NaCl are colourless. NaBr and NaI are also colourless but AgBr and AgI are coloured.
Why is AgCl a white precipitate?
When the soluble silver(I) nitrate salt solution is combined with the soluble sodium chloride salt solution, a white precipitate of silver(I) chloride is produced. The bulk of the precipitate appears in the form of a suspended cloud of white solid.
What is the colour of AgCl 3?
White Solid
AgCl occurs naturally as a mineral chlorargyrite….Silver chloride.

What is AgCl soluble in?
AgCl is soluble in water and it is a colourless solution. Silver nitrate is a colourless solution. As silver chloride, silver bromide and silver iodide are precipitates.
What does AgCl break down into?
The chemical formula for Silver Chloride is AgCl. It is usually available as a white crystalline solid. However, due to its light sensitivity it can turn a deep grey blue upon prolonged exposure to light. This is due to its decomposition to silver metal and chlorine.
Which precipitate is yellow in colour?
Among the reactions given, when lead nitrate reacts with potassium iodide it gives lead nitrate and a precipitate of lead iodide is formed which is yellow in colour.
Why AgCl is white and AgI is yellow?
The higher polarisability of I- ion, owing to its larger radius, facilitates the transition of electron (from anion to metal ion) in the visible range, imparting yellow colour to AgI. on the other hand, lower polarisability of Cl- ion, facilitates the transition of electron in the UV range. hence, AgCl appears white.
