Organic Chemistry – Some Basic Principles and Techniques

In Lassaigne's test for the detection of halogens, the sodium fusion extract is first boiled with concentrated nitric acid. This is

• to remove silver halides

• to decompose Na₂S and NaCN, if present

• to dissolve Ag₂S

• to dissolve AgCN, if formed
