The test for chloride ions described here is based on precipitation of an insoluble chloride salt. When a few drops of a silver nitrate solution are added to a slightly acidic aqueous solution that contains chloride ions, a white precipitate of silver chloride will form.

Why do we perform chloride test?
A chloride test measures the level of chloride in your blood or urine. Chloride is one of the most important electrolytes in the blood. It helps keep the amount of fluid inside and outside of your cells in balance. It also helps maintain proper blood volume, blood pressure, and pH of your body fluids.
How do you test for chloride ions in sodium chloride?
To test for the chloride ion: Add a few drops of an aqueous solution of silver nitrate or AgNO3 (which is colourless) to an aqueous solution of sodium chloride or NaCl (which is also colourless). You will observe a curdy white precipitate, silver chloride, which is insoluble in cold water and dilute nitric acid.
What is limit test for chloride?
The principle of limit test for chloride is that the soluble chloride is reacted with silver nitrate in the presence of dilute nitric acid which forms silver chloride. This formation of silver chloride appears as solid particles in the solution.
What Colour precipitate do chloride ions produce?
Testing for halide ions
| Halide ion | Precipitate colour |
|---|---|
| Chloride, Cl - | White |
| Bromide, Br - | Cream |
| Iodide, I - | Yellow |
Why is chloride dangerous?
Chlorides can corrode metals and affect the taste of food products. Therefore, water that is used in industry or processed for any use has a recommended maximum chloride level. Chlorides can contaminate freshwater streams and lakes. Fish and aquatic communities cannot survive in high levels of chlorides.
What does a chloride level of 110 mean?
Hyperchloremia is an electrolyte disturbance in which there is an elevated level of the chloride ions in the blood. The normal serum range for chloride is 96 to 106 mEq/L, therefore chloride levels at or above 110 mEq/L usually indicate kidney dysfunction as it is a regulator of chloride concentration.
How do you confirm the presence of chloride ions?
The test for chloride ions described here is based on precipitation of an insoluble chloride salt. When a few drops of a silver nitrate solution are added to a slightly acidic aqueous solution that contains chloride ions, a white precipitate of silver chloride will form.
How can you tell the difference between BaCl2 and NaCl?
Barium chloride and sodium chloride are both soluble in water. Barium carbonate and barium sulphates are both insoluble while the sodium carbonate and sodium sulphate are both soluble. Therefore to distinguish between NaCl and BaCl2, to each of the solution either add an ion CO3ᶺ2- or SO4ᶺ2-.
What does agno3 test for?
The long-standing test for salt contamination (chloride ions) has traditionally been the "silver nitrate test", where a milky white response is indicative of chloride ions.
What are the types of limit tests?
Limit test of heavy metals is based on the reaction of metallic impurities with hydrogen sulfide in acidic medium to form colored solution. Metals that response to this test are lead, mercury, bismuth, arsenic, antimony, tin, cadmium, silver, copper, and molybdenum.
What is the limit test?
"Limit test is defined as quantitative or semi-quantitative test designed to identify and. control small quantities of impurity which is likely to be present in the substance. Limit test is generally carried out to determine the inorganic impurities present in the compound".
What happens if chloride is high in water?
It can also increase the rate of pitting corrosion of metal pipes (8). Chloride concentrations in excess of about 250 mg/litre can give rise to detectable taste in water, but the threshold depends upon the associated cations. Consumers can, however, become accustomed to concentrations in excess of 250 mg/litre.
