A chloride salt (A) upon reaction with an alkali solution gives gas (B) which in turn gives brown ppt (C) with Nessler’s reagent. A, B, and C are respectively:
1. \(NH_4Cl, NH_3\) and \(HgO\)
2. \(NH_4Cl, NH_3\) and \(Hg(NH_2)Cl\)
3. \(NH_4Cl, NH_3\) and \(HgO.Hg(NH_2)Cl\)
4. \(NH_4Cl, NH_3\) and \(HgO.Hg(NH_2)I\)
