Silver chloride is soluble in ammonium hydroxide due to the formation of

Silver chloride is soluble in ammonium hydroxide due to the formation of
  1. $\mathrm{AgNH}_{2}$
  2. $\left[\mathrm{Ag}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}ight)_{2}ight] \mathrm{Cl}$
  3. $\mathrm{Ag}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}ight) \mathrm{Cl}$
  4. $\left[\mathrm{Ag}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}ight)_{6}ight] \mathrm{Cl}$

Solution

$\mathrm{AgCl}+2 \mathrm{NH}_{3} \longrightarrow\left[\mathrm{Ag}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}ight)_{2}ight] \mathrm{Cl}$
White ppt. of $\mathrm{AgCl}$ dissolves in $\mathrm{NH}_{3}$ due to the formation of complex diammine silver chloride. ,
