NH4 CL

1) Tests were conducted on a white solid salt to identify its acidic and basic radicals. 2) For the acidic radical, tests showed that it was chloride (Cl-) as it gave a white precipitate with silver nitrate and produced reddish orange gas when reacted with chromyl chloride. 3) For the basic radical, it produced the smell of ammonia and turned red litmus blue. Further tests like Nessler's test and ammonium chloride test confirmed the basic radical to be ammonium (NH4+). 4) Therefore, the salt was determined to be ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) containing chloride (Cl-) as the acidic radical and ammonium
