Silver nitrate is added to a neutral solution of a sodium salt and a yellow precipitate forms, which dissolves in both dilute HNOX3 and aqueous NHX3. The precipitate is
AAgX3POX4
BAgCl
CAgI
DAgBr
Answer: A
Yellow AgX3POX4 is a salt of a weak acid so dilute HNOX3 dissolves it, and it dissolves in NHX3 by forming [Ag(NHX3)X2]X+. AgI is yellow but insoluble in dilute acid and ammonia, AgBr is pale yellow and AgCl is white.
