The Lassaigne’s extract is boiled with conc. ${\mathrm{HNO}}_3$ while testing for halogens, because it:

1. Helps in the precipitation of $\mathrm{AgCl}$
2. Increases the solubility product of $\mathrm{AgCl}$
3. Increases the concentration of ${\mathrm{NO}}_3^{-}$ ions
4. Decomposes ${\mathrm{Na}}_2\mathrm{S}$ and $\mathrm{NaCN}$, if formed
