Consider the insoluble compound silver chloride , AgCl . The silver ion also forms a complex with ammonia . Write a balanced net ionic equation to show why the solubility of AgCl (s) increases in the presence of ammonia and calculate the equilibrium constant for this reaction. For Ag(NH3)2+ , Kf = 1.6×107 . Be sure to specify states such as (aq) or (s).
