Solution

The correct option is C $10^{- 3} M N H_{4} O H$
AgBr will form soluble complex with $N H_{4} O H$ , i.e., $[A g (N H_{3})_{2}] B r$ .
The key to this problem is something called the "common ion effect." In essence, the solubility of an ionic solute is much lower in a solvent that already contains one of the ions of the solute.
