Silver chloride (also called '''silver(I) chloride''') is a Chemical Compound with Chemical Formula AgCl and is composed of one Silver and one Chlorine Atom . Silver chloride is a white Crystalline solid, one of the few metal chlorides Insoluble in Water . It is soluble, however, in solutions containing the halide ions, thiosulfate ions, or aqueous ammonia, reacting to form complexes according to the following reactions:

AgCl(s) + Cl-(aq) → AgCl2-(aq)

AgCl(s) + 2S2O32-(aq) → Ag {Link without Title} 3-(aq) + Cl-(aq)

AgCl(s) + 2NH3(aq) →Ag {Link without Title} +(aq) + Cl-

Silver chloride is used to make Photographic Film since it turns darker when exposed to light.
To detect the presence of Chloride in water, Silver Nitrate is added and silver chloride crystals will form if chloride is present.

Ag+( Aq ) + Cl-( Aq ) → AgCl( S )
