Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

The presence of chloride ions in water can be established by adding dilute trioxonitrate V acid to a sample of the water in drops followed by aqueous silver trioxonitrate V.

If a white precipitate is formed, which is soluble in excess aqueous ammonia solution, then the presence of chloride ion in the water sample is ultimately confirmed.
