Solution
The correct option is D 0.05 M NH3
In pure water:
Ag2CO3↔2Ag++CO2−3
In NH3:
Ag2CO3↔2Ag++CO2−3
2Ag++4NH3↔2Ag(NH3)+2
Overall: Ag2CO3+4NH3↔2Ag(NH3)+2+CO2−3
Here a complex formation is taking place, due to the formation of the complex reaction between silver ions and ammonia shifts the solubility equilibrium in the forward direction which in turns increased the solubility.
