Solid AgCl dissolves in aqueous ammonia mainly because
Aammonia lowers the Ksp of AgCl itself
Bammonia reacts with ClX− to give NHX4Cl precipitate
Cammonia increases the [ClX−] of the solution
D[Ag(NHX3)X2]X+ forms, lowering [AgX+] so that the ionic product falls below Ksp
Answer: D
AgX+ is removed as the stable complex [Ag(NHX3)X2]X+, so Q=[AgX+][ClX−]<Ksp and more AgCl dissolves. Ksp depends only on temperature, and ClX− is not consumed.
