To properly dispose of Silver Oxide :

• Add 100 volumes of distilled water to 1 volume Silver Oxide powder. (glass container only)

• Add common household Hydrogen Peroxide, very slowly, with lots of stirring. (glass or plastic stirrer only)

• Add Hydrogen Peroxide, stirring, until all of the Black Powder has turned gray. (lots of bubbles - Oxygen)

• You now have reduced Silver Oxide into harmless Silver Powder. (You may want to keep it)

NOTE : Silver Powder also breaks down the Hydrogen Peroxide, forming Oxygen bubbles.

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"


Who discovered silver and the year it was discovered?

Oh, dude, like, silver has been around forever! It's been used since ancient times, so it's not like someone just stumbled upon it one day and was like, "Whoa, what's this shiny stuff?" But if you wanna get technical, archaeologists have found silver artifacts dating back to around 4000 BC in modern-day Turkey. So, like, silver has been rocking the jewelry game for thousands of years, man.
