  • Depending on the halide present, a different coloured precipitate is formed, allowing for identification of the halide ion
  • Silver chloride is white, silver bromide is cream and silver iodide is yellow

Each silver halide produces a precipitate of a different colourEach silver halide produces a precipitate of a different colour

The acidification step in the halide ion test must be done with nitric acid rather than hydrochloric acid, as HCl contains chloride ions which would interfere with the results.
