A solution contains the sodium salt of an anion. The followingtests are performed to identify the anion.
1) The solution is treated with silver nitrate solution. Awhite precipitate forms. List all anions that could bepresent.
my answer: F, Cl, Br, or I
2) Addition of nitric acid to another sample of the SAMEsolution prodcued a colorless, odorless gas. On the basis of thistest, what anions are present?
3) When another sample of the SAME solution was treated withmagnesium chloride, there was a white precipitate. What singleanion is present?
