    B)  \[{{K}_{2}}Hg{{I}_{4}}+N{{H}_{4}}OH\]

    C)  \[{{K}_{2}}Hg{{I}_{4}}+KOH\]

    D)  \[KHg{{I}_{4}}+N{{H}_{4}}OH\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    Nesslers reagent \[={{K}_{2}}Hg{{I}_{4}}+KOH\] \[2{{K}_{2}}Hg{{I}_{4}}+N{{H}_{4}}Cl+4KOH\to \]                              \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \text{iodide}\,\,\text{of}\,\text{Milion }\!\!\!\!\text{ s}\,\,\text{base}\, \\  \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\text{(brown}\,\text{ppt}\text{.)} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{N{{H}_{2}}HgOHgI}}\,+7KI+KCl+3{{H}_{2}}O\] Note Nesslers reagent is used tor detection of ammonia.
