The reagent should be freshly prepared and never stored for more than a couple
of hours. After the test has been performed, the resulting mixture should be acidified with dilute acid before disposal. These precautions are to prevent the formation of the highly explosive fulminating silver, which is mostly silver nitride,
Ag3N.
There were reports for ammoniacal silver nitrate solution being exploded after
some time. Think you got the answer.
