What cation can be used to determine the Cl- anion? Write the reaction equation in short ionic form.

To determine the Cl (-) anions, a well-known qualitative reaction with silver nitrate AgNO3 is used. In this case, the resulting white precipitate – silver chloride AgCl, indicates that there were (are) chlorine anions in the solution. Silver nitrate is a soluble salt that dissociates into silver cations and nitrate anions. If the solution given to us contains soluble chloride, that is, free chlorine anions, a precipitate will form. This short ionic equation corresponds to this:
Ag (+) + Cl (-) = AgCl
