Silver oxide is photosensitive and silver can be separated.
silver oxide is formed (Ag2O)
a black layer.
Silver sulfide, black tarnish. Ag2S
Metals in the reactivity series from aluminium to copper react with oxygen in the air to form the metal oxide. Aluminium and Zinc reacts very quickly, Iron reacts slowly at room temperature. Tin, Lead and Copper reacts with Oxygen in air when heated. Silver, Gold and Platinum do not react with Oxygen in air
Silver is more likely to tarnish near a petroleum refinery because hydrogen sulphide released from refineries, reacts with silver to form a black substance called silver sulphide.

For example halogens and sulfur reacts with silver.
that reacts so harshly
Let's see.2Ag + 2HNO3 -> 2AgNO3 + H2Looks like that gaseous product is hydrogen gas.
Silver tarnishes in air because it reacts with the oxygen to form silver oxide.
strong alkaline
Gold is more durable than Silver. Silver reacts with Sulphur dioxide in air and gets blackened. This is not the case with gold. Gold rarely reacts and does not easily make compounds.
An oxide is formed.
Silver reacts with sulfuric and nitric acid.
The reaction is: NaCl + AgNO3 = NaNO3 + AgCl(s) Silver chloride is a white precipitate.
When silver nitrate reacts with hydrochloride a white precipitate of Silver Chloride is formed.
chemical, specifically an "oxidation" reaction (even though oxygen is not involved).
Its 'tarnish. Silver reacts with air and this is the result. If you wear silver (as opposed to leaving it in a jewellery box), it wont produce as much tarnish because it isn't as exposed to the air. Having said that, I have items of silver which are terribly tarnished yet have not been exposed to air--silver also reacts with skin chemicals. Its easy to clean off if you do it every time you wear it-let it build up and its a nuisance to get rid of. .
It's a chemical change. The silver reacts with sulfur compounds from the air.
it tarnishes and can make a dull layer of metal oxide on the surface"tarnish" or oxidation.
