why does silver chloride dissolve in aqueous ammonia

Adding ammonia promotes the solubility of both silver chloride and silver iodide through the same mechanism: formation of the [Ag(NH3)2]+ complex ion removes silver ions from solution, which drives the solubility equilibrium AgX(s) -> Ag+(aq) + X-(aq) to the right.
