This test will allow you to identify whether a halide ion is a Chloride, Bromide or Iodide ion.
- Add Silver Nitrate
- The Silver Halide is then precipitated
- This is because Silver halide are insoluble in water
The results look like this:
- Silver Chloride = White ppt
- Silver Bromide = Cream ppt
- Silver Iodide = Pale yellow ppt
