Ammonia is always is added inn this reaction. Which of the following must be INCORRECT:
Answer» `NH_(3)` combines with `Ag^(+)` to FORM a complex `Ag(NH_(3))_(2)^(+)` is a weaker oxidising REAGENT than `Ag^(+)` In absence of `NH_(3)`, SILVER salt of gluconic aacid is FORMED. `NH_(3)` has affected the standard reduction potential of glucose/gluconic acid electrode. Solution :Standards electrode potential does not depend upon on concentration.
