  In which of the following solvents is silver chloride most soluble? (a) \[0.1\text{ }mol\text{ }d{{m}^{-3}}AgN{{O}_{3}}\] solution                   (b) \[0.1\text{ }mol\text{ }d{{m}^{-3}}\text{ }HCl\]solution (c) \[{{H}_{2}}O\]                                                                             (d) Aqueous ammonia

Answer:

  (d)\[AgCl\]will be most soluble in aqueous ammonia due to formation of complex. \[AgCl+2N{{H}_{3}}\to \underset{\text{soluble}\,\text{Complex}}{\mathop{[Ag{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}]Cl}}\,\]
