Why is silver nitrate used in cauterization of wounds?
= = = Silver Nitrate =Jump to: navigation, searchSilver nitrate is a chemical compound with chemical formula AgNO3. This nitrate of silver is a light-sensitive ingredient in photographic film and is a poisonous, corrosive compound. Silver nitrate crystals can be produced by dissolving silver in nitric acid and evaporating the solution. The compound notably stains skin a greyish or black color that is made visible after exposure to sunlight. Silver nitrate has been used as an antiseptic, dropped into newborn babies' eyes at birth. This is to prevent contraction of gonorrhoea or chlamydia from their mother. A very weak solution is used for this, (about 1%) and there are very few side effects. Mythically, silver nitrate was used as a method of killing vampires, with the silver nitrate generally being injected into a bullet cartridge or used in a hypodermic needle. Fused silver nitrate, shaped into sticks, was traditionally called lunar caustic and used as a cauterizing agent. It can also be used in wound management to 'knock back' over-granulation of tissue in healing wounds such as ulcers and sinuses. [edit]Silver nitrate can be used in a medical environment as a chemical cauterizing agent and medicinal caustic. A typical applicator is composed of 75% silver nitrate with 25% potassium nitrate. As the silver nitrate contacts with water (in the blood) the compound goes into solution forming nitric acid. The acid subsequently is responsible for the cautery effect. As mentioned above this will typically result in a black or greyish staining of the skin. This staining is caused by the accumulation of the silver and will typically go away as the body rids itself of the mineral. Retrieved from "http://wiki.bmezine.com/index.php/Silver_Nitrate"
Copper wire is put in a solution of silver nitrate. Crystals of silver form. Why does the solution go blue and how do you show that it's a redox reaction?
because a silver precipitate is formed.
What is the chemical reaction for silver nitrate and potassium chromate solutions?
the chemical reaction between silver nitrate and potassium chromate in generally used in a titration to look for chloride ions , and is a two step reaction: i will give you the ionic equations, which is pretty much all you need Ag+(aq) + Cl-(s) --> AgCl(s) this part of the equation caused the solution to go cloudy. when all the chloride ions are used up then the silver reacts with the chromate ions to produce the red colour you see when the end point of the precipitation is reached: 2Ag+(aq) + CrO4 2-(aq) --> Ag2 CrO4(s) which produces the red colour the amount of silver nitrate relates directly to the chloride ion concentration as it is a 1:1 ration reaction. i hope this answers your question =)
What is the word equation for iron plus lead nitrate?
The word equation would be iron reacts with lead nitrate to form iron two nitrate and lead.Or perhaps you meant this?The word equation would be Iron + Lead Nitrate => Iron (II) Nitrate + LeadThe chemical equation would be Fe(s) + Pb(NO3)2 => Fe(NO3)2 + PbI assume you are having problems with the charge the iron nitrate would go into, so here is a link that helps describe how to determine the charges of the ions of transitional metals: http://indiescience.org/basetalk/index.php?topic=13.0
What is the reaction of silver nitrate and calcium chloride?
Got this from chemtutor.com - better answer BALANCING IONIC EQUATIONS WITH POLYATOMIC IONS Silver nitrate and calcium chloride solutions combined produce a precipitate of silver chloride and leave a solution of calcium nitrate. This time we have ionic compounds in the reaction. Until you are sure of the compounds, you might want to write the ionic materials as the ions, as demonstrated here. _ Ag+(NO3)- + _ Ca2+Cl-2 _ Ag+Cl- + _ Ca2+ (NO3) -2 Notice that from one side to the other there is no change in the nitrate ion. In this case you can count the nitrate ion as a whole rather than splitting it up into nitrogen and oxygen. Your thoughts might go this way: How many silvers on the right? One. How many silvers on the left? One. They are the same. How many nitrates on the left? One. How many nitrates on the left? One. How many nitrates on the right? Two. We need to put a coefficient of two in front of the silver nitrate. 2 AgNO3 + _ CaCl2 _ AgCl + _ Ca (NO3)2 This changes the balance of silvers, so we have to put a two in front of the silver chloride. 2 AgNO3 + _ CaCl2 2 AgCl + _ Ca (NO3)2 Now let's check again. Two silvers on each side. Two nitrates on each side. One calcium on each side and two chlorides on both sides. The balanced reaction is: 2 AgNO3 + CaCl2 2 AgCl + Ca (NO3)2 Hope this will come handy! =] UNBALANCED: AgNO3 + CaCO2 ---> AgCO + Ca(NO3)2 BALANCED: 2AgNO3 + CaCO2 ---> 2AgCO + Ca(NO3)2 >> as a note to the previous editor... that is not calcium chloride in the mix, it is instead calcium carbonate... students take note...<<

What causes liquid bleach to go black?
I could be wrong...but if I remember my chemistry....Silver Nitrate?
Copper wire is put in a solution of silver nitrate. Crystals of silver form. Why does the solution go blue and how do you show that it's a redox reaction?
because a silver precipitate is formed.
Do eraser burns scar?
No. They fist scar but they will go away if you go to your local Drugstore and buy oiantmant.
What is the observation of copper (s) plus silver nitrate?
Cu(s) + 2AgNO3(aq) --> 2Ag(s) + Cu(NO3)2(aq)According to the metal activity series, copper is more reactive than silver, so the copper will replace the silver in the silver nitrate compound.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactivity_seriesThe silver metal will precipitate out of solution, forming along the piece of copper, which goes into solution, combining with the aqueous nitrate ion. If this reaction goes to completion, all of the copper will go into solution as copper(II) nitrate, and all of the silver metal will precipitate out of solution.
Are sun burns permanent?
No, they usually go away after a week or two depending on how bad they are.

What is the reaction of silver nitrate and sodium sulfateฃ?
In solid state at normal temperature the don't react with each other because both have the stable crystal structures but in aqueous solutions when they are allow to mixed white precipitate of silver sulphate are formed because its solubility is very low in water, 2AgNO3(Aq.) + Na2SO4 -----> Ag2SO4 (Ppts.) + Ag+ + NO3-The balanced equation above is incorrect and miss Na all together.Both sodium sulfate and silver nitrate are soluble in water. If I swap the names I get silver sulfate and sodium nitrate. Silver sulfate is insoluble and sodium nitrate is soluble. So if I mix a solution of sodium sulfate and a solution of silver nitrate, an insoluble precipitate of silver sulfate will form and sodium nitrate will remain in solution. Two go into solution, and one comes out. The balanced equation is:Na2SO4(aq) + 2 AgNO3(aq) = Ag2SO4(s) + 2 NaNO3(aq)
