Which of the following compounds would be more soluble in 1 M NH3 than in pure water? BaSO 4 AgBr Pbl 2 BaF 2 Ca(OH) 2

AgBr

Explanation:

The salt, AgBr has a very low solubility is pure water. However, it has a high solubility in 1 M NH3. The reason behind this higher solubility of AgBr in 1 M aqueous ammonia solution is the formation of a complex as shown below;

AgBr(s) + 2NH3(aq) > [Ag(NH3)2]^+(aq) + Br^-(aq)

The formation of this linear silver diammine complex accounts for the higher solubility of AgBr in 1 M aqueous ammonia solution.

out of these options:

ability to burn paper

pure sodium reacting violently with water

the boiling point of water

helium does not tend to react with anything

i would say this is a physical property:

helium does not tend to react with anything

why? :

i said helium does not tend to react with anything because well, it reacts to ! but ability to burn paper, pure sodium reacting violently with water, & the boiling point of water are chemical or

physical properties: the properties of a substance that can be observed without changing the chemical makeup of the substance

chemical properties: properties of a substance relating to the chemical nature and reactivity of the substance
