Why is ans B? Why is cl minus ions found?
I tot agcl cannot even dissolve in water, how is it able to further disociate into ions?

It has something to do with barium chloride being an excess reagent, so that the Cl- present comes from barium chloride.

Will help you later if I have time, but currently I am stuck in a series of classes until 10 pm+.

Give you a clue first: write the balanced equation and perform mole ratio calculations.

Mole ratio of BaCl2 : AgNO3 is 1 : 2.

BaCl2 + 2 AgNO3 ==> Ba(NO3)2 + 2 AgCl

Mole ratio of BaCl2 to AgNO3 is 1 : 2. Thus means that for every 1 mol of BaCl2 reacted, we need 2 mol of AgNO3.

8 cm3 of a 1 mol/dm3 solution provides 0.008 mol, or 8 milli mole, of the solution.

Basically,
- 8 mmol BaCl2 requires 16 mmol AgNO3,
- 8 mmol AgNO3 requires 4 mmol BaCl2

So it’s clear that when all 8 mmol AgNO3 is reacted, only 4 mmol BaCl2 has been reacted, meaning that there is still 4 mmol unreacted BaCl2.

The final mixture contains 4 mmol BaCl2, 4 mmol Ba(NO3)2 and 8 mmol solid AgCl by the mole ratio.

So, only BaCl2 and Ba(NO3)2 will generate ions.

What about agcl? Why they nvr disociate into ions? Is it cuz agcl is a white ppt and is insoluble in solution. Hence no dissolve then let alone disociation?

The fact that it forms a white precipitate shows that it is unable to dissolve in water. This would mean that they would not dissociate into ions.
