Chemistry Asked by Samyak Jain on January 2, 2022
So I was doing analysis of silver salts and I found $ce{AgBr}$ is curry white partially soluble in ammonia, $ce{AgI}$ is yellowish and insoluble but silver phosphate is also yellow. So can anyone tell whether or is soluble in ammonia or not?
According to Firsching [1],
silver phosphate is indeed soluble in ammoniacal solution due to formation of silver-ammonia complex.
The following is the solubility data of $ce{Ag3PO4}$ in $ce{NH4OH}$ at $pu{35.5 °C}$ presented by Saraswat [2]:
begin{array}{rr} hline c(ce{NH4OH})/ & c(ce{Ag3PO4})/ \ pu{mmol l^-1} & pu{mmol l^-1} \ hline 0 & 0 \ 4.05 & 0.133 \ 8.09 & 0.265 \ 16.18 & 0.531 \ 32.36 & 1.061 \ 64.72 & 2.057 \ 129.45 & 4.113 \ 258.90 & 8.292 \ 517.80 & 26.478 \ hline end{array}
