- CAg NH 3 2 Cl
- DAg NH 3 Cl Cl
Correct answer
C. Ag NH 3 2 Cl
Step-by-step solution
The white precipitate silver chloride is soluble in ammonia and forms the complex with coordination number 2. The complex formation is shown below. AgCl ( s ) + 2 NH 3 ( aq ) → Ag NH 3 2 Cl ( aq ) It is ammoniacal silver chloride.
