Consider the following salts: \(\mathrm{NaCl}, \mathrm{HgCl}_{2}, \mathrm{Hg}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}, \mathrm{CuCl}_{2}, \mathrm{CuCl}\) and \(\mathrm{AgCl}\). Identify the correct set of insoluble salts in water.

  1. A \(\mathrm{Hg}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}, \mathrm{CuCl}, \mathrm{AgCl}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{Hg} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}, \mathrm{CuCl}, \mathrm{AgCl}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{Hg}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}, \mathrm{CuCl}_{2}, \mathrm{AgCl}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{Hg}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}, \mathrm{CuCl}, \mathrm{NaCl}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{Hg}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}, \mathrm{CuCl}, \mathrm{AgCl}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Salts such as \(\mathrm{NaCl}, \mathrm{HgCl}_{2}, \mathrm{CuCl}_{2}\) are soluble in water while salts such as \(\mathrm{Hg}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}, \mathrm{CuCl}\) and \(\mathrm{AgCl}\) are insoluble in water.
