AgCl dissolves in a solution of NH3 but not in water because

Question

AgCl dissolves in a solution of NH3 but not in water because (A) NH3 is a better solvent than H2O (B) Ag+ forms a complex ion with NH3 (C) NH3 is a stronger base than H2O (D) the dipole moment of water is higher than NH3

AgCl dissolves in a solution of NH3 but not in water because Ag+ forms soluble complex ion with NH3

Q. $A g Cl$ dissolves in a solution of $NH X_{3}$ but not in water because

$NH X_{3}$ is a better solvent than $H X_{2} O$

$Ag X^{+}$ forms a complex ion with $NH X_{3}$

$NH X_{3}$ is a stronger base than $H X_{2} O$

the dipole moment of water is higher than $NH X_{3}$

AgCl dissolves in a solution of $NH X_{3}$ but not in water because Ag+ forms soluble complex ion with $NH X_{3}$

Q. AgCl dissolves in a solution of NHX3​ but not in water because

NHX3​ is a better solvent than HX2​O

AgX+ forms a complex ion with NHX3​

NHX3​ is a stronger base than HX2​O

the dipole moment of water is higher than NHX3​
