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

  1. Aa rise in the solubility product of AgCl in presence of
  2. Bthe common-ion effect of on
  3. Cformation of the soluble complex ion , which lowers so that more AgCl dissolves
  4. Dammonia reacting with chloride ions to form

Answer: C

binds to form , removing free . To keep , more AgCl dissolves. depends only on temperature, and no common ion is involved.
