Question
A white solid A when heated with sodium hydroxide solution, gives a pungent gas B, which turns red litmus blue. The solid, when dissolved in dilute nitric acid and treated with silver nitrate gives a white precipitate of C which is soluble in an ammonia solution.

Solution
C is silver chloride which is soluble in ammonia.
Pungent smelling gas B is ammonia.
White solid A is ammonium chloride.
\[\ce{NH4Cl(s) ->[NaOH] NH3(g) + H2O + NaCl}\]
\[\ce{NH3(g) ->[Red litmus] blue litmus}\]
\[\ce{\underset{\text{A}}{NH4Cl(s)} ->[AgNO3][HNO3] \underset{\text{C}}{AgCl(s)}}\]
