Answer:

By adding, a few drops of AgNO3

Dilute HCl reacts with silver nitrate to give a white precipitate of silver chloride.

On the other hand there is no reaction observed when dilute Nitric acid is treated with silver nitrate solution. That is obvious

Reactions :-

HCl(aq) + AgNO3(aq) >>> AgCl(s) + HNO3(aq)

HNO3(aq) + AgNO3(aq) >>> No reaction + No precipitate
