Assertion : $\mathrm{AgCl}$ is more soluble in $\mathrm{NH}_3$ than in water.
Reason : Ammonia is more polar than water.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
If assertion is true but reason is false.
If both assertion and reason are false.
Solution
Solubility of $\mathrm{AgCl}\left(\right.$ at $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ ) in $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$ $=0.0020 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{AgCl}$ per litre of $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$ Solubility of $\mathrm{AgCl}$ in $\mathrm{NH}_3$ (at $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ ) $=14.00 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{AgCl}$ dissolved per $\mathrm{kg}$ of $\mathrm{NH}_3$ Ammonia is less polar than water, as oxygen is more electronegative than nitrogen.
