Q. What happens if $CCl_{4}$ is treated with $AgNO_{3}$?
A) A white ppt. of AgCl will form
B) $NO_{2}$ will be evolved
C) $CCl_{4}$ will dissolve in $AgNO_{3}$
D) Nothing will happen
Explanation
(d)
$CCl_{4}$ is a covalent compound, therefore, it does not ionise to give $Cl^{-}$ ions hence, it does not give white ppt. of AgCl when treated with $AgNO_{3}\ \$soution. There is no reaction to evolve $NO_{2}\ .\ CCl_{4}$ will form a separate layer as it is immiscible with water.
