NH3 forms a complex ion with silver called the diamine silver ion, Ag(NH3)2+ which has different properties from an ordinary silver ion (Ag+) among them being that more of its compounds are water soluble.

Is silver chloride soluble in ammonia?

AgCl is not soluble in water because water is a polar compound while AgCl is not. AgCl is soluble in NH3 because both are nonpolar.The rule here applied is like dissolve like. Hope the answer to your question..... source.... My lab (Ajwa)


Explain how adding aqueous NH3 to the combined AgCl - Hg2Cl2 precipitate effects the separation of the two cations?

Aqueous NH3 reacts with AgCl to form [Ag(NH3)2]+ complex ions, so adding NH3 dissolves the AgCl precipitate. However, Hg2Cl2 remains insoluble in the presence of NH3. This selective solubility allows for the separation of Ag+ and Hg2 2+ cations in the mixture.


Is AgCl soluble?

Yes, AgCl (silver chloride) has low solubility in water. It is sparingly soluble and forms a white precipitate when it is formed in solution.


Is AgCl insoluble or soluble?

Insoluble

Are binary salts soluble?

Some are soluble (NaCl), some are insoluble (AgCl).


How could you distinguish between nh4cl and agcl?

NH4Cl is soluble in water, while AgCl is insoluble in water. To distinguish between the two, you could add water to the samples: NH4Cl will dissolve, forming a clear solution, while AgCl will remain as a solid precipitate at the bottom of the container.


Is agl soluble?

AgCl (silver chloride) has low solubility in water. Only a small amount of AgCl will dissolve in water, resulting in a saturated solution.


Is NH3 soluble in CCl4?

it will not dissolve NH3 in poler molecules


Determine the solubility of AgCl from the following cell?

Need more info. AgCl, however, is very poorly soluble.


Why Ag Cl is soluble in sodium thiosulfate?

It actually reacts with AgCl to produce NaCl (which is soluble), and some Na3[Ag(S2O3)2]complexes which are also soluble in water.


Can you separate AgCl from NaCl?

Yes, AgCl can be separated from NaCl by adding ammonia solution. AgCl is insoluble in ammonia, so it will precipitate out as a solid while NaCl remains in the solution. The two can then be filtered or separated by decantation.
