Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 38. (b)

Solution:

  1. Appearance of blue colour on addition of the metal $\operatorname{rod} M$ to the solution of $N$ is an indication that metal may be $Cu$. Later formation of white precipitate on addition of $NaCl$ and dissolution of this precipitate in aqueous ammonia confirm that while precipitate is of $AgCl$. This implies that the solution $N$ is of $AgNO _3$. This confirm that the metal $M$ is only $Cu$.
