The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the solubility of a white precipitate of silver chloride (AgCl) in excess of different reagents, we will analyze each reagent one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem**: We have a white precipitate of silver chloride (AgCl) and we need to determine if it dissolves in excess of three different reagents: - I) Ammonia (NH₃(aq)) - II) Sodium thiosulfate (Na₂S₂O₃) - III) Sodium cyanide (NaCN) 2. **Reaction with Ammonia (NH₃(aq))**: - When AgCl is treated with excess ammonia, it forms a soluble complex. The reaction can be represented as: \[ \text{AgCl} + 2 \text{NH}_3 \rightarrow \text{[Ag(NH}_3\text{)}_2]^+ + \text{Cl}^- \] - The complex formed is [Ag(NH₃)₂]⁺, which is soluble in water. Therefore, AgCl dissolves in excess ammonia. **Hint**: Look for the formation of soluble complexes when silver chloride reacts with ammonia. 3. **Reaction with Sodium Thiosulfate (Na₂S₂O₃)**: - When AgCl reacts with sodium thiosulfate, it also forms a soluble complex. The reaction can be represented as: \[ \text{AgCl} + 2 \text{Na}_2\text{S}_2\text{O}_3 \rightarrow \text{Na}_3[\text{Ag}(\text{S}_2\text{O}_3)_2] + \text{NaCl} \] - The complex formed is sodium argentothiosulfate, which is soluble. Thus, AgCl dissolves in excess sodium thiosulfate. **Hint**: Identify the formation of thiosulfate complexes when silver chloride reacts with sodium thiosulfate. 4. **Reaction with Sodium Cyanide (NaCN)**: - When AgCl is treated with sodium cyanide, it forms another soluble complex: \[ \text{AgCl} + 2 \text{NaCN} \rightarrow \text{[Ag(CN)}_2]^- + \text{NaCl} \] - The complex formed is [Ag(CN)₂]⁻, which is soluble in water. Therefore, AgCl dissolves in excess sodium cyanide. **Hint**: Consider the formation of cyanide complexes when silver chloride reacts with sodium cyanide. 5. **Conclusion**: - From the analysis above, we conclude that the white precipitate of AgCl dissolves in excess of all three reagents: ammonia (NH₃), sodium thiosulfate (Na₂S₂O₃), and sodium cyanide (NaCN). ### Final Answer: The white precipitate of AgCl dissolves in excess of: - I) NH₃(aq) - II) Na₂S₂O₃ - III) NaCN All three options are correct.
