Which is the correct equation for the reaction of AgCl with `NH_4OH` ?

Options

A. `AgCl + NH_4OH to AgOH +NH_4^(+)+Cl^(-)`
B. `AgCl+2NH_4 OH to [Ag(NH_3)_2]^(+) + Cl^(-) +2H_2O`
C. `AgCl+4NH_4OH to [Ag(NH_3)_4]^(+)+Cl^(-)+4H_2O`
D. `2AgCl+NH_4OH to Ag_2O+NH_4^(+)+H^(+)+2Cl^(-)`

Answer

B

Explanation

Silver chloride reacts with ammonium hydroxide to produce diammine silver chloride and water.
`AgCl+2NH_4OHrarr[Ag(NH_3)_2]^++Cl^_+2H_2O`
