a) Ag (NH₃) ₂⁺, Cl⁻.

b) NH₃.

c) AgCl.

Explanation:

Based on LeChatelier's law, a system in chemistry can change responding to a disturbance of concentration, temperature, etc. in order to restore a new state.

In the reaction:

AgCl (s) + 2NH₃ (aq) ⇌ Ag (NH₃) ₂⁺ (aq) + Cl⁻ (aq)

When reactants are added, the system will produce more products restoring the equilibrium and vice versa. A reactant in solid state doesn't take part in the equilibrium, thus:

a) Ag (NH₃) ₂⁺, Cl⁻. The addition of products will shift the equilibrium to the left

b) NH₃. The addition of reactant will shift the equilibrium to the right.

c) As AgCl is in solid phase, will not shift the equilibrium in either direction.
