RyanJ Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Remind Me: Silver Nitrate + Halide - Precipitate Colours Can somone remind me the precipiate colours? I seem too have forgotten them... This is for the tests by which you can identify them through adding the solutions of the halide salt and the Silver Nitrate. Fluoride = Soluable Chloride = Milky White? Bromide = ? Iodide = ? Thanks for the help, this is bugging the hell out of me, Ryan Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woelen Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 AgF --> very soluble AgF2 --> decomposes water, formation of O2 AgCl --> white like snow AgBr --> very pale yellow AgI --> pale yellow, but somewhat darker than AgBr All these compounds change color, when exposed to light. AgCl turns light purple on exposure to light, AgBr and AgI turn greyish/yellow on exposure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what colour precipitate Astatides would form.... This is one of those experiments I like too do, AgF2 sounds like a powerful reducing agent :S Cheers, Ryan Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
