Correct answer: B

  1. Identify the curdy white precipitate formed with AgNO3\mathrm{AgNO_3}AgNO3​

A chloride salt solution, when acidified with dilute HNO3\mathrm{HNO_3}HNO3​ and treated with AgNO3\mathrm{AgNO_3}AgNO3​, gives the characteristic white curdy precipitate of silver chloride:

Ag++Cl−→AgCl (s)\mathrm{Ag^+ + Cl^- \rightarrow AgCl\,(s)}Ag++Cl−→AgCl(s)

So,

A=AgClA = \mathrm{AgCl}A=AgCl

  1. Action of NH4OH\mathrm{NH_4OH}NH4​OH on AgCl\mathrm{AgCl}AgCl

Silver chloride dissolves in aqueous ammonia due to formation of the diamminesilver(I) complex:

AgCl+2NH3→[Ag(NH3)2]++Cl−\mathrm{AgCl + 2NH_3 \rightarrow [Ag(NH_3)_2]^+ + Cl^-}AgCl+2NH3​→[Ag(NH3​)2​]++Cl−

Thus the clear solution contains:

[Ag(NH3)2]Cl\mathrm{[Ag(NH_3)_2]Cl}[Ag(NH3​)2​]Cl

So,

B=[Ag(NH3)2]ClB = \mathrm{[Ag(NH_3)_2]Cl}B=[Ag(NH3​)2​]Cl

  1. Match with options

The pair is:

  • A=AgClA = \mathrm{AgCl}A=AgCl
  • B=[Ag(NH3)2]ClB = \mathrm{[Ag(NH_3)_2]Cl}B=[Ag(NH3​)2​]Cl

This corresponds to Option B.

  1. Why other options are incorrect
  • A: H[AgCl3]\mathrm{H[AgCl_3]}H[AgCl3​] is not the precipitate formed in this test.
  • C: First species is incorrect.
  • D: (NH4)[Ag(OH)2]\mathrm{(NH_4)[Ag(OH)_2]}(NH4​)[Ag(OH)2​] is not the expected product with ammonia; the actual dissolution is due to the ammine complex [Ag(NH3)2]+\mathrm{[Ag(NH_3)_2]^+}[Ag(NH3​)2​]+.

Therefore, the correct answer is B.
