Silver nitrate 99.9 +% Extra pure

What is Silver Nitrate?

Silver nitrate is an inorganic compound with the molecular formula AgNO3.

What is Silver Nitrate used for?

In particular, it is used in Tollens' reagent for aldehyde recognition tests.

It is also used to identify Cl chloride ions (a white precipitate forms that darkens in daylight). The reaction that takes place is then: Ag + (aq) + Cl- (aq) → AgCl (s)

Solutions of silver nitrate give metallic silver on contact with light. In the case of stains made from silver nitrate (on clothes, floors, etc.), the only way to clean them is to leave a saturated solution of ferricyanide on for a few minutes or overnight for greater efficiency. red solution does not fix the tissues), a slight change in the color of the spots is observed due to the formation of water-soluble silver ferricyanide.

It is an external antiseptic, corrosive agent. It is used diluted in ophthalmic solutions.

Nitrate and silver halides (silver bromide, silver chloride and silver iodide) turn black after exposure to light: they are used in emulsions for photographic plates, film and paper. Their salts are soluble in sodium thiosulfate, a compound used in the photographic fixation process.

It is also used in silver plating, making mirrors, indelible and invisible inks, coloring porcelain, and dyeing hair.

In medicine, more specifically in podiatry, silver nitrate can be used to treat ingrown toenails. In fact, it allows to dry the growths of the skin that develop on the nail (in the same way as lead nitrate).
