The correct Answer is:
To determine the correct set of insoluble salts in water from the given list of salts (NaCl, HgCl2, Hg2Cl2, CuCl2, and AgCl), we will analyze the solubility of each salt. ### Step 1: Analyze the solubility of NaCl - **NaCl (Sodium Chloride)**: Sodium salts are generally soluble in water. Therefore, NaCl is soluble in water. ### Step 2: Analyze the solubility of HgCl2 - **HgCl2 (Mercury(II) Chloride)**: Mercury(II) chloride is soluble in water. It forms a clear solution when dissolved. ### Step 3: Analyze the solubility of Hg2Cl2 - **Hg2Cl2 (Mercury(I) Chloride)**: Mercury(I) chloride, also known as calomel, is insoluble in water. It does not dissolve and typically appears as a white precipitate. ### Step 4: Analyze the solubility of CuCl2 - **CuCl2 (Copper(II) Chloride)**: Copper(II) chloride is soluble in water. It dissolves to form a blue solution. ### Step 5: Analyze the solubility of AgCl - **AgCl (Silver Chloride)**: Silver chloride is insoluble in water. It forms a white precipitate when mixed with water. ### Conclusion From the analysis, the salts that are insoluble in water are: - Hg2Cl2 (Mercury(I) Chloride) - AgCl (Silver Chloride) Thus, the correct set of insoluble salts in water is **{Hg2Cl2, AgCl}**.
