Silver Nitrate Reagent Crystals, 5g - ACS-Grade - The Curated Chemical Collection

This 5g bottle contains silver nitrate reagent crystals at ACS grade. ACS grade means the material meets purity specifications set by the American Chemical Society, the standard reference for analytical work where trace contaminants would affect results. Silver nitrate is the standard test for halide ions. Added to a solution containing chloride, bromide, or iodide, it forms a precipitate whose color identifies which halide is present: white for chloride, cream for bromide, and pale yellow for iodide. It also serves in work on precipitation reactions, solubility rules, and single displacement reactions with more reactive metals. The reagent is used in small amounts and in dilute solution, and is supplied at 5g accordingly. Silver nitrate is corrosive and stains skin and surfaces darkly on contact, so gloves and eye protection are required. Product instructions and safe handling and storage information are printed directly on the bottle, and a Safety Data Sheet is available on request. The chemical is manufactured in the United States and intended for laboratory use only, not for drug, food, or household use. It should be kept out of reach of children.
