Silver nitrate is one of those truly nasty lab chemicals. Most first aid involves getting the affected party to a medical professional as soon as possible. If you have silver nitrate in the lab response procedures should be detailed in the firat aid kit. They usually are:

Inhalation:

  • Remove to fresh air.
  • If not breathing, give artificial respiration.
  • If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
  • Get medical attention immediately.
Ingestion:
  • If swallowed, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.
  • Give large quantities of water.
  • Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
  • Get medical attention immediately.
Skin Contact:
  • Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
  • Get medical attention immediately.
  • Wash clothing before reuse.
  • Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse.
Eye Contact:
  • Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally.
  • Get medical attention immediately.

Can you stir silver nitrate solution with a copper spoon why or why not?

No, we cannot stir silver nitrate solution with a copper spoon because , copper is more reactive than silver. Thus,it would displace silver from the silver nitrate solution forming copper nitrate....


Is silver nitrate cations or anions?

Silver nitrate is a compound composed of silver cations (Ag+) and nitrate anions (NO3-).


Formula silver nitrate?

The chemical formula for silver nitrate is AgNO3.


Copper will react with silver nitrate to form copper nitrate and silver?

In certain reaction conditions, yes. Copper is more reactive than silver, so it should react with the nitrate molecule to form copper nitrate while precipitating the silver. *Are you thinking about separating silver from photographic fixer? Commonly a less expensive metal is used like iron (steel wool) to extract much of the silver.


What will happen if you were to burn silver nitrate?

Burning silver nitrate will release toxic nitrogen dioxide gas and leave behind silver metal residue. The reaction is exothermic and can be violent, so it should be done with caution and in a controlled environment.


What is the formula for aqueous silver nitrate?

The chemical formula for aqueous silver nitrate is AgNO3, where Ag is the symbol for silver and NO3 is the polyatomic ion nitrate. When silver nitrate is dissolved in water, it dissociates into silver ions (Ag+) and nitrate ions (NO3-).


Does silver nitrate is light sensitive?

Yes, silver nitrate is light sensitive. Exposure to light can cause silver nitrate to decompose and break down, which can affect its stability and potency. It should be stored in a cool, dark place to minimize degradation.
