(A) Pure chloroform does not give precipitate with AgNO3 solution. (R) CHCl3 is covalent compound.

White ppt. will be obtained when AgCl forms in solution but as pure CHCl3 is covalent compound so it doesn't provide chloride ion to react with AgNO3 and white ppt will not form. But impure chloroform contains HCl, which reacts with AgNO3 and white ppt of AgCl forms due to reaction given above
