Solution

The correct option is A True
Chlorides on treatment with $A g N O_{3}$ Solution gives a white curdy precipitate of $A g C l$ insoluble in
water and in dilute nitric acid but soluble in dilute ammonia solution due to the formation of soluble
complex.
$C l^{-} + A g^{+} ⟶ A g C l ↓$
white curdy ppt
$A g C l ↓ + 2 N H_{3} \to [A g (N H_{3})_{2}] C l$
Soluble
