Which acid on mixing with silver nitrate solution produces a white precipitate which is soluble in excess ammonium hydroxide?

Solution

Hydrochloric acid on mixing with silver nitrate solution produces a white precipitate of silver chloride.
This silver chloride is soluble in excess of ammonium hydroxide and is insoluble in dilute Nitric acid.
Chemical reactions involved are:
$\underset{Silver nitrate}{{AgNO}_{3}} + \underset{H y r d r o c h l o r i c a c i d}{H C l} \to \underset{S i l v e r c h l o r i d e}{A g C l ↓} + \underset{N i t r i c a c i d}{H N O_{3}} \underset{S i l v e r c h l o r i d e}{A g C l} + 2 \underset{A m m o n i u m h y r d o x i d e}{N H_{4} O H} \to \underset{A m m o n i u m c h l o r i d e}{A g {(N H_{3})}_{2} C l} + \underset{W a t e r}{2 H_{2} O}$
