AgNO3 + 2NH3 = [Ag(NH3)2]NO3. The ammonia is added to couple the silver cations into a complex and thus avoid side reactions such as precipitation of silver chloride. Therefore it is used to increase the measurement accuracy.

Addition of HNO3 cannot restrain the ammonia with the sufficient
efficiency. Binding the ammonia to the silver cations is more
preferable compared to the ammonia interaction with protons. However
nitric acid can oxidize sulfides which you are going to determine
through titration.

thank you for your reply but i had my solution acidify by HNO3. BUT I
CAN NOT EARN TWO INFLECTION POINT? BEST REGARDS

Dear Tone! In presence of amine you cannot determine the amount of
chloride. This is due to higher stability of silver-amine complexes
compared to silver chloride. Therefore your inflection point occurs at
the end of reaction of silver-amine complex with H2S. To obtain
inflection point for chloride, you should continue titration in
absence of amine.

DEAR SIR I WANT DETERMINE H2S (80 PPM)& CHLORIDE(6 PPM) IN AMINE WITH
POTENTIOMETRY WITH SILVER ELECTRODE BUT I CAN NOT DETERMINE IT I GAIN
ONLY ONE INFLECTION POINT DO YOU KNOW? BEST REGARDS TONE
