The correct answer is: 1.2mol
AgCl s + aq Ag aq + + Cl aq - ; K sp Ag aq + + 2 NH 3 aq Ag NH 3 2 aq + ; K f

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AgCl s + 2 NH 3 Ag NH 3 2 aq + + Cl aq -      K = K sp × K f

                  C-0.2M          0.1 M                0.1 M  Equilibrium concentration

K = 1 0 - 1 0 × 1 0 8 = 1 0 - 2 = Ag [ NH 3 ) 2 +   Cl - NH 3 2

1 0 - 2 = 1 0 - 1 × 1 0 - 1 M - 0 . 2 2

  M0.2 =1

  M=1.2M
