Add dilute nitric acid and silver nitrate
Result - A white precipitate
Added:
...... but be aware that Bromide and Iodide (and some other anions) will react almost accordingly. So it isn't too specific!
However, if you look very closely, the bromide ion turns a cream coloured precipitate, and the iodide ion, a yellow precipitate. Silver chloride and -bromide will turn in grey black after some time exposed to light (photographic illuminate-reaction)

FranOne common test for chloride ions involves using silver nitrate solution. When silver nitrate is added to a solution containing chloride ions, a white precipitate of silver chloride forms. This reaction can be used as a qualitative test for the presence of chloride ions in a solution.

Why does silver nitrate test provide negative result on the presence of a chloride ion?
The silver nitrate test provides a negative result on the presence of a chloride ion because silver chloride is insoluble in water and forms a white precipitate when silver ions react with chloride ions. This precipitate masks the presence of the chloride ion in the test solution, giving a negative result.
What color does Iron chloride turn in flame test?
Iron chloride does not produce a distinctive color in a flame test. It typically appears as a pale yellow-green flame due to the presence of the chloride ion rather than the iron ion.
What is the colour of chloride ion?
Chloride ion is colorless.
What is the symbol for the chloride ion?
The symbol for the chloride ion is Cl-.
Which is larger ion chloride ion or oxygen ion?
The chloride ion (Cl-) is larger than the oxygen ion (O2-). This is because the chloride ion has more electrons than the oxygen ion, resulting in a larger atomic radius and hence a larger ionic radius.
