A white sodium salt dissolves readily in water to give a solution which is neutral to litmus. When silver nitrate solution is added to the solution, a white precipitate is obtained which does not dissolve in dil. $\mathrm{HNO}_{3} .$ The anion could be
$\mathrm{CO}_{3}^{2-}$
$\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$
$\mathrm{SO}_{4}^{2-}$
$\mathrm{S}^{2-}$
Solution
$\mathrm{NaCl}$ is a salt of strong acid and strong base hence on dissolution will give neutral solution. $\mathrm{NaCl}+\mathrm{AgNO}_{3} \longrightarrow \mathrm{AgCl} \downarrow+\mathrm{HNO}_{3}$
