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.....

Sodium chloride is a compound that fits this description. When sodium chloride reacts with silver nitrate solution, it forms a white precipitate of silver chloride. This precipitate is soluble in both aqueous ammonia and nitric acid.
Silver chloride is sparingly soluble in water, meaning it has low solubility.
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.
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.
No, not all chloride salts are soluble in water. For example, lead(II) chloride (PbCl2) and silver chloride (AgCl) are insoluble in water.
The addition of silver nitrate solution produces white precipitates of silver chloride which are soluble in ammonium hydroxide or liquid ammonia.
When aqueous ammonia is added in excess to a solution of silver chloride, the white precipitate of silver chloride dissolves to form a colorless, tetrahedral complex ion called [Ag(NH3)2]+. This complex ion is soluble in excess ammonia due to the formation of a stable coordination complex.
One method to separate lead chloride from a mixture of lead chloride and silver chloride is to dissolve the mixture in water, then add hydrochloric acid to precipitate the lead chloride while keeping the silver chloride in solution. The precipitated lead chloride can then be filtered out. Another method is to use selective precipitation by adding a potassium chromate solution, which will form a yellow precipitate with the lead chloride while leaving the silver chloride in solution.

Sodium chloride is soluble in water; silver chloride is not soluble.
Silver nitrate is the most soluble in polar solvents among the three compounds. Silver chloride is moderately soluble, while silver carbonate is the least soluble in polar solvents.
Silver chloride is not soluble in water.

Given that pure sodium chloride is a solid at room temperature, no it is not soluble.
Silver chloride (AgCl) is soluble in ammonia (NH3) due to the formation of a complex ion known as the diamminesilver(I) ion (Ag(NH3)2+). This complex ion forms when ammonia molecules coordinate with the silver ion, breaking up the lattice structure of AgCl and allowing it to dissolve in ammonia.
