During the detection of acidic radical present in a salt, a student gets a pale yellow precipitate soluble with difficulty in NH4OH solution when sodium carbonate extract was first acidified with dil. HNO3 and then AgNO3 solution was added. This indicates presence of:

Question

Accepted Answer

Br−. The formation of a pale yellow precipitate that is only slightly soluble in ammonium hydroxide indicates the presence of bromide ions (Br−), as this behavior is characteristic of silver bromide (AgBr), which is less soluble compared to other silver halides.
