NEET levelSingle correct optionDifficulty 1 of 3ia074

The solubility of in water is increased by adding aqueous ammonia. The main reason is

  1. Aformation of the soluble complex , which lowers
  2. Bthe common ion effect of on
  3. Chydrolysis of to give and
  4. Da rise in the of in basic medium

Answer: A

binds as , lowering the free below the value needed for saturation, so more dissolves. depends only on temperature, and does not hydrolyse.
