Question

An unknown inorganic compound `(X)` gave the following reactions:
(i) The compound `(X)` on heating gave a residue, oxygen and oxide of nitrogen.
An aqueous solution of compound `(X)` on addition to tap water gave a turbidity which did not dissolve in `HO_(3+)`
(iii) The turbidity dissolved in `NH_(4)OH` .
Identify the compound `(X)` and gives equation for the reaction (i),(ii) & (iii)`

Answer 1

Correct Answer - `X=AgNO_(3)`
`2AgNO(X)undersettoDeltaAg+2NO_(2)+O_(2)`.
`AgNO_(3)(aq)+Cl^(-)toAgCldownarrow(white)+NO_(3)^(-)`
`AgCl+2NH_(3)to[Ag(NH_(3))_(2)]^(+)"(soluble complex")`
