  • Silver Nitrate Test: Identifying Iodide Ions with a White Precipitate
    Potassium iodide solution gives a white precipitate with acidified silver nitrate solution. This is because silver ions react with iodide ions to form silver iodide, which is a white insoluble salt. The reaction can be represented as follows:

    AgNO3 + KI → AgI (white precipitate) + KNO3

    This reaction is commonly used to test for the presence of iodide ions in a solution.
