Will $CCl_4$ give a white precipitate of $AgCl$ on heating it with silver nitrate? Give a reason for your answer.

(N/A) $CCl_4$ will not give a white precipitate of $AgCl$ on heating it with silver nitrate. This is because the chlorine atoms are covalently bonded to the carbon atom in $CCl_4$. Since the chlorine is not present as $Cl^-$ ions,it does not react with $AgNO_3$ to form $AgCl$. To obtain the precipitate,the covalent bond must be broken,which is typically done by preparing the Lassaigne's extract of $CCl_4$.
