Benzyl chloride is quite reactive hallide. It gives NaCl when reacts with (aq.) NaOH, which gives white precipitate with AgNO3 solution. Benzyl chloride also give white precipitate with AgNO3 solution directly. C6H5CH2Cl+NaOH xrightarrowC6H5CH2OH+NaCl NaCl+AgNO3 xrightarrowNaNO3+ underset textWhite textppt text. mathopAgCl downarrow
