AgCl is not soluble in water because water is a polar compound while AgCl is not. AgCl is soluble in NH3 because both are nonpolar.The rule here applied is like dissolve like. Hope the answer to your question.....

Is sliver chloride soluble or insoluble?
chloride salts are usually soluble, but with silver it is not soluble.
What would be observed when a fresh precipitate of silver chloride is treated with excess ammonia solution?
When you treat silver chloride with excess ammonia solution, Diamine silver (I) chloride is formed . The reaction involved is- AgCl + NH(3) --->Ag( (NH(3)) 2)(+) + Cl(-).What you will observe is that AgCl is insoluble, but after adding ammonia it becomes soluble because of above reaction.
How many soluble chlorides are there?
Most metal chlorides are soluble. The exceptions include lead chloride and silver chloride.
Is ther any reation between sodium chloride and silver nitrate?
When sodium chloride is added to a solution of silver nitrate (both are very soluble in water), silver chloride, which is only very slightly soluble, will precipitate.
What is the color of silver chloride?
Silver chloride is a colorless aqueous solution.Added:AgCl is a quit insoluble, white precipitate, turning grayish black by reduction in visible light (photosensible reaction).AgCl will form a colourless, soluble Ag(NH3)2+ complex when dilute ammonia is added.
How would you separate lead chloride from mixture of lead chloride and silver chloride?
silver chloride is soluble in ammonia, lead chloride is only slightly soluble in ammonia
How you Verify the chloride ion?
The addition of silver nitrate solution produces white precipitates of silver chloride which are soluble in ammonium hydroxide or liquid ammonia.
Is sliver chloride soluble or insoluble?
chloride salts are usually soluble, but with silver it is not soluble.

Why is salt insoluble?
Sodium chloride is soluble in water; silver chloride is not soluble.
Is silver nitrate or silver chloride or silver carbonate more soluble in a polar solvent?
Silver nitrate is soluble in water but chloride and carbonate are insoluble.
What are some elements that will displace silver in silver I chloride?
Silver chloride is not soluble in water.
What happens to silver chloride when added water?
Silver chloride is not soluble in water.
Is silver chloride soluble in sodium chloride?
Given that pure sodium chloride is a solid at room temperature, no it is not soluble.
How can you tell the difference between amonium chloride and silver chloride?
Ammonium chloride is soluble in water. Silver chloride is not soluble in water and will form a white precipitate in an aqueous solution.
What is observe when aqueous ammonia is added in excess to a silver chloride solution?
The white precipitate of silver chloride will dissolve when aqueous ammonia is added.
How do you separate lead chloride and silver chloride?
Add ammonia solution to mix. Silver chloride dissolves leaving lead chloride behind.
