What happens when Silver NItrate reacts with light?
Silver nitrate does not "react" with light, because light is not a substance. Light can catalyze the autodecompositon of silver nitrate.
What is formed when aqueous silver nitrate solution is exposed to light?
well what happens is that silver nitrate is catalyzed by the sunlight, thus forming a gray or dark readish type of solution when expose to ligh
Why is silver nitrate solution unstable?
Well, AgNo3(silver nitrate) can only be stable if stored under dark condition i.e in a dark or amber bottle on the other hand if exposed, it reacts readily with light
Why you protect silver nitrate from light?
Keep silver nitrate in brown bottles and/or cover the bottle with aluminium foil. This will prevent the decomposition of silver nitrate from light.
What color is a nitrate precipitate?
Silver nitrate is white, but light sensitive, so it turns black

What happens when silver halides are exposed to light or radiation?
They turn black

What happens when silver chloride is exposed to light?
The color become grey because silver chloride (AgCl) is slowly decomposed to silver and chlorine.
What happens when silver halide particles are suspended in gelatin?
All I know is, they change their structure when exposed to light.
What in form silver nitrate decompose in light?
Your question firstly isn't stated correctly, but if you are stating what form is silver nitrate decomposed from in light, well it is a liquid.
What color is a nitrate precipitate?
Silver nitrate is white, but light sensitive, so it turns black
Does silver nitrate react with water?
No. However, silver nitrate is photosensitive when moist, and reacts with light, so it might appear to react with water.
How harmful is silver nitrate?
If ingested by mouth silver nitrate is a deadly poison and only small quantity is enough to kill a person. If dilute solutions (1M) contact exposed skin, the skill will become dyed dark brown after it is exposed to ultraviolet light. This is only temporary until the skin cells dye and wear away to be replaced by new ones. This usually takes 2-4 days.
What is a compound used in photography which darkens when exposed to light?
Silver Halide Silver iodide
