AI Generated Solution

To understand why carbon monoxide (CO) is readily absorbed by ammoniacal cuprous chloride (CuCl + NH3) while carbon dioxide (CO2) is not, we can break down the explanation into several steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Ammoniacal Cuprous Chloride**: - Ammoniacal cuprous chloride is a solution of cuprous chloride (CuCl) in ammonia (NH3). It can form complexes with certain gases. 2. **Reaction of CO with Ammoniacal Cuprous Chloride**: ...
