Silver iodide, AgI is a chemical compound made up of molecules containing one silver ion and an Iodide ion.
It has several applications it's used in Photography, medicine as an antiseptic and in rainmaking for cloud seeding.
Silver(I) iodide
Thymol iodide is commonly known as iodoform.
Silver nitrate solution and potassium iodide solution can be mixed to form silver iodide due to a double displacement reaction where the silver ions from silver nitrate react with the iodide ions from potassium iodide to form insoluble silver iodide precipitate. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: AgNO3 (aq) + KI (aq) → AgI (s) + KNO3 (aq).
A yellow precipitate of silver iodide is formed due to the reaction between potassium iodide and silver nitrate, as silver iodide is insoluble. The reaction can be described by the equation: 2KI (aq) + AgNO3 (aq) → AgI (s) + 2KNO3 (aq)
This is a precipitation reaction. Halides of silver are insoluble in water (except silver fluoride) whereas all nitrates are soluble in water. Sodium salts are soluble. Thus, silver iodide is the precipitate. Formula: AgNO3(aq) + NaI(aq) -> AgI(s) + NaNO3(aq)
Silver Iodide
First, Ag is an element and not a compound at this form. Its name is silver
Silver(I) iodide
The common name for CH3CH2CH2I is propyl iodide.
Silver iodide is written as AgI, where Ag represents silver and I represents iodide.
Thymol iodide is commonly known as iodoform.
The binary compound name for Pl5 is silver iodide.
The chemical symbol for silver iodide is AgI.
The chemical formula for silver iodide is AgI. It is a compound formed by the combination of the silver (Ag) cation and the iodide (I) anion. Silver iodide is commonly used in cloud seeding to induce rainfall.
Common cloud seeding materials include silver iodide, potassium iodide, and sodium chloride. These materials can help promote the formation of ice crystals in clouds and potentially enhance precipitation.
Silver nitrate solution and potassium iodide solution can be mixed to form silver iodide due to a double displacement reaction where the silver ions from silver nitrate react with the iodide ions from potassium iodide to form insoluble silver iodide precipitate. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: AgNO3 (aq) + KI (aq) → AgI (s) + KNO3 (aq).
Silver iodide is commonly used as a cloud seeding compound to encourage precipitation in clouds.
