I encountered this question in the lab today, can someone explain why AgCl dissovled in 6M HCl or 6M NH3? and write the equation to support the answer? thax

I have no idea about this at all, maybe AgCl is reactive to acid or something?

What do you know about the solubility of AgCl? If you know, you might be able to eliminate one of the two choices. So for the other solution, it is able to dissolve AgCl due to a stable complex formed.
No matters what results are waiting for us, it's nothing but the DESTINY!!!!!!!!!!!!
