Answer:
Correct Answer: 40. (c)
Solution:
- Since, in the beginning, concentrated $AgNO _3$ solution was taken, some $AgNO _3$ remain in solution which gives white precipitate of $AgCl$ on addition of $NaCl$. The precipitate finally dissolve in ammonia and $Cu^{2+}$ present in solution also forms complex with ammonia as
$$ \begin{aligned} & Cu\left(NO _3\right) _2+4 NH _3(a q) \rightarrow\left[Cu\left(NH _3\right) _4\right]^{2+}+2 NO _3^{-} \\ & \text {Blue } \\ & AgCl(s)+2 NH _3(a q) \rightarrow\left[Ag\left(NH _3\right) _2\right]^{+}+Cl^{-} \end{aligned} $$
