The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the solution of AgBr in the presence of a large excess of NH₃, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Reaction When AgBr is dissolved in a large excess of ammonia (NH₃), a complex ion is formed. Ammonia acts as a ligand and coordinates with the silver ion (Ag⁺). ### Step 2: Identify the Products The reaction can be represented as: \[ \text{AgBr} + 2 \text{NH}_3 \rightarrow [\text{Ag(NH}_3)_2]^+ + \text{Br}^- \] Here, Ag⁺ from AgBr forms a complex with two NH₃ molecules, resulting in the complex ion \([\text{Ag(NH}_3)_2]^+\) and bromide ion (Br⁻) as a byproduct. ### Step 3: Determine the Cation From the reaction, we can see that the cation formed is the complex ion \([\text{Ag(NH}_3)_2]^+\). The bromide ion (Br⁻) is the anion and does not contribute to the cationic part of the solution. ### Step 4: Analyze the Options Now, we will compare our findings with the options provided: - (a) \( \text{NH}_4^+ \) - This is not formed in this reaction. - (b) \( \text{Ag}^+ \) - While Ag⁺ is present, it is not the main species in the presence of excess NH₃. - (c) \([\text{Ag(NH}_3)]^+\) - This is not the correct complex formed since we have two NH₃ ligands. - (d) \([\text{Ag(NH}_3)_2]^+\) - This is the correct complex ion formed. ### Final Answer The solution of AgBr in the presence of a large excess of NH₃ contains mainly the cation \([\text{Ag(NH}_3)_2]^+\). Thus, the correct answer is: **(d) \([\text{Ag(NH}_3)_2]^+\)**. ---
