Mercuric chloride reacts with aqueous ammonia to form a white precipitate ofA. `Hg (NH_(3))_(2)CI_(2)`B. `Hg (NH_(2))_(2)CI_(2)`C. `Hg (NH_(3))_(2)CI`D. `HG (NH_(2))CI` |

Answer» Correct Answer - D When aqueous ammonia is added to the solution of mercuric chloride, a white precipitate) is formed: `HgCI_(2) + 2NH_(3) (aq) rarr Hg(NH_(2))CI + NH_(4)CI` The infusible white precipitate decomposes without melting on heating. On the other hand, gaseous ammonia or ammonium chloride produces a fusible white precipitate of diammine mercury (II) chloride. `HgCI_(2) + 2NH_(3) rarr Hg(NH_(3))_(2) CI_(2)` |
