Silver tarnishes when it reacts with hydrogen sulfide in the air to form Silver sulfide. Levels of tarnish will vary from a yellow tint to yellow-black to black.

What are the color of metals?

Most metals are grey, as ores, unless oxidized. Then they become brown or red. Only gold and copper are not.variesmetallic colour, sort of shiny, metal-ish.


Sodium is readily oxidized by oxygen gas if the product of the reaction were dissolved in water what would be the color the litmus for a litmus test?

Sodium is readily oxidized by oxygen gas. If the product of the reaction were dissolved in water, the color of the litmus for a litmus test would be blue. The red litmus paper will turn blue.


What happens to copper when dipped in silver nitrate solution?

The copper will eventually be replaced by the silver in the solution. Cu + 2Ag2 --> 2Ag + Cu2+ The copper atoms will be oxidized (lose electrons) to form copper ions, while the silver ions will be reduced (gain electrons). Oxidized: Cu -->Cu2+ + 2e- Reduced:2(Ag+ + e- ---> Ag) It's said the solution turns blue in the experiiment, but I didn't see that when I tried this experiment. Also, this would not be a good way to get rich;(replacing copper with silver in the silver nitrate and then selling it, that is) the silver nitrate is more expensive than silver itself.


How is a compound oxidized?

oxidation happen by increasing O molecules or losing 2H or by losing electrons... e.g : Ag___> (Ag+1) + e -1 here Ag has lost one electron so become oxidized

Does oxidized silver tarnish?

Tarnished silver is the same as oxidized silver.


What is difference between oxidized silver and sterling silver?

Oxidized silver is not necessarily sterling silver but sterling silver can be oxidized. Oxidation is a finish on silver, otherwise known as tarnish. Sterling silver can tarnish and silver plate can tarnish, too.

Does silver react with bromine?

Yes, silver does react with bromine. Silver becomes oxidized in the presents of bromine gas, that's why silver jewelry tarnishes.


If you boil Silver in salt water why does Sulfur form?

The black tarnish on silver is silver sulfide, Ag2S. Presumably you are boiling silver in a metal pot. The salt water completes an electrochemical cell between the silver sulfide and the aluminum, copper, or iron pot. The oxidized silver in silver sulfide is reduced to silver metal, and part of the metal pot is oxidized; the reaction happens because silver wants to be reduced more than the other metals do. You might imagine that as the metal is oxidized it would become iron, copper, or aluminum sulfide, but the metal sulfides, especially aluminum sulfide, are not so stable. Aluminum sulfide hydrolyzes to aluminum hydroxides and hydrogen sulfide, H2S, the stinky gas, which is probably what you are calling "sulfur".


What happens when silver chloride is exposed to light?

The color become grey because silver chloride (AgCl) is slowly decomposed to silver and chlorine.
