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)

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 is formed when a potassium ion is attracted to a chloride ion?

When a potassium ion is attracted to a chloride ion, they form an ionic compound called potassium chloride (KCl). In this compound, the potassium ion loses an electron and the chloride ion gains an electron, resulting in a stable electrostatic attraction between them.
