What reagent could be used to separate Br- from NO3- when added to an aqueous solution containing both?

NaI(aq)
AgNO3(aq)
CuSO4(aq)
Ba(OH)2(aq)

Respuesta :

AgNO3(aq)
hope it helps

Answer:

The correct answer is silver nitrate solution that is [tex]AgNO_3(aq)[/tex].

Explanation:

To separate [tex]Br^-[/tex] from [tex]NO_{3}^-[/tex] ions we will use silver nitrate solution. On addition of silver nitrate solution in a mixture of bromide and nitrate ions.

The silver ion will react with bromide ions to form silver bromide which will get precipitated out as yellow color solid from a mixture.

[tex]AgNO_3(aq)+Br^-(aq)\rightarrow AgBr(s)+NO_{3}^-(aq)[/tex]

[tex]AgNO_3(aq)+NO_{3}^-(aq)\rightarrow [/tex] no reaction
