MCQ
In Carius method, halogen containing organic compound is heated with fuming nitric acid in the presence of :
  • $\mathrm{AgNO}_{3}$
  • B
    $\mathrm{HNO}_{3}$
  • C
    $\mathrm{BaSO}_{4}$
  • D
    $\mathrm{CuSO}_{4}$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$\mathrm{AgNO}_{3}$
a
Organic compound is heated with fuming nitric acid in the presence of silver nitrate in carius method.

Lunar caustic $\left(\mathrm{AgNO}_{3}\right)$ is used as reagent hare to distinguish $\mathrm{Cl}^{-}, \mathrm{Br}$ and $\mathrm{I}^{-}$respectively as follows.

$\mathrm{Cl}^{-}(\mathrm{aq}) \stackrel{\mathrm{AgNO}_{3}}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{AgCl} \downarrow_{\mathrm{ppt}}$ white

$\mathrm{Br}^{-}(\mathrm{aq})\stackrel{\mathrm{AgNO}_{3}}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{AgBr} \downarrow_{\mathrm{ppt}} \mathrm{pale}$ yellow

$\mathrm{I}^{-}(\mathrm{aq}) \stackrel{\mathrm{AgNO}_{3}}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{AgNO}_{3} \mathrm{AgI} \downarrow_{\mathrm{ppt}}$ Dark yellow
