Açıklama
Take an unknown substance and add a few drops of it to the silver nitrate solution. If the silver nitrate solution turns white due to the formation of silver chloride, the acid is hydrochloric acid. If the solution remains clear, the acid is nitric acid. T is Hydrochloric Acid(an odourless, colourless solution with a pungent smell)
