'Layer Test' is used to identify

  • A.Bromide
  • B.Fluoride
  • C.Potassium
  • D.Water
  • E.Chloride

Answer: A

The layer test identifies Bromide (and iodide).

Chlorine water added to a bromide solution liberates bromine, which dissolves in a layer of an organic solvent such as carbon tetrachloride or chloroform and colours it orange-brown (iodide gives violet).

Chloride cannot be displaced by chlorine, so it gives no coloured layer; fluoride, potassium and water are not identified this way.
