Hey, please. Its very important for me. Please do provide me ith the reactions and articles. Please. I have searched a lot on google but in vain. And please remember its silver chloride and sodium hydroxide. Plese do provide me with them. I shall be very grateful.

:redface::-p

A link will be helpful either...
Somebody help...

from my lil bit poor knowledge of qualitative analysis... i believe that this reaction will yield sodium chloride and silver hydroxide. but silver hydroxide is not so stable... it is quickly converted to hydrated silver oxide. i would say it dissolves...

hope i was right.
