Describe a method of preparing silver chloride from the reaction of silver nitrate and dilute hydrochloric acid.

The silver chloride salt can be prepared using the precipitation method.

Add equal volumes of dilute hydrochloric acid to a beaker containing aqueous silver nitrate.

Stir the solution. A white precipitate of silver chloride is formed.

Filter the mixture to obtain silver chloride as the residue. Wash the residue with cold distilled water and dry between two pieces of filter paper.
