Answer:

AgBr

Explanation:

The salt, AgBr has a very low solubility is pure water. However, it has a high solubility in 1 M NH3. The reason behind this higher solubility of AgBr in 1 M aqueous ammonia solution is the formation of a complex as shown below;

AgBr(s) + 2NH3(aq) ----> [Ag(NH3)2]^+(aq) + Br^-(aq)

The formation of this linear silver diammine complex accounts for the higher solubility of AgBr in 1 M aqueous ammonia solution.
