Ag+(aq) + Cl-(aq) ® AgCl(s)
Addition of iodide ion to silver ion produces a precipitate of yellow silver iodide.
Ag+(aq) + I-(aq) ® AgI(s)
The more soluble silver chloride reacts with ammonia to give the soluble colorless diamminosilver(I) complex ion
AgCl(s) + 2 NH3(aq) ® [Ag(NH3)2]+(aq) + Cl-(aq)
