Ethanol is used to create a solution with the haloalkane and is simply the most convenient solvent- water would not work as it simply does not mix with hydrocarbons!

Silver nitrate is used as an indicator- when dissolved the ionic bond holding the Silver atom to the rest of the molecule is broken letting loose positive silver ions into the solution. These react with the lone negative halogen ions which are formed by the hydrolysis of haloalkanes, to form a visible precipitate. This indicates that hydrolysis has occurred and the colour can show the which haloalkane was hydrolysed.

Is ethanol silver nitrate a polar solvent?

Yes, ethanol is a polar solvent because it contains a polar hydroxyl group (-OH) which imparts a partial positive charge on the hydrogen atom and a partial negative charge on the oxygen atom. Silver nitrate is also polar due to the presence of ionic bonds between silver and nitrate ions.


What is the pH level of silver nitrate?

Silver nitrate solution typically has a pH of around 6.0-7.0 because it undergoes hydrolysis in water to produce nitric acid, which is a weak acid.


Product of alcoholic silver nitrate with ethyl bromide reaction?

When ethyl bromide, an alkyl halide, reacts with alcoholic silver nitrate (AgNO3), silver bromide (AgBr) and ethanol are produced. This reaction is a substitution reaction where the bromine in ethyl bromide is replaced by the nitrate ion from silver nitrate.


Prepartions of ether from mono haloalkane with dry silver oxide?

To prepare ether from a mono haloalkane using dry silver oxide, the mono haloalkane is first treated with dry silver oxide in an anhydrous solvent under reflux conditions. The silver oxide abstracts the halogen atom, leading to the formation of a carbocation intermediate. The carbocation intermediate then reacts with another mono haloalkane molecule via a nucleophilic substitution reaction to form the ether product.


What is chemical symbol for silver nitrate?

Silver nitrate = AgNO3


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.


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-).


What ionic compound is AgNO3?

Can't say, since "o" is not an element. However: Ag3N is Silver Nitride AgNO2 - Silver Nitrite AgNO3 - Silver Nitrate


What happens to nitrate when you electroplate sliver nitrate?

When silver nitrate is electroplated, the silver ions in the silver nitrate solution are reduced at the cathode, forming a silver metal coating on the substrate. The nitrate ions from the silver nitrate solution are left in the solution without participating directly in the electroplating process.


Is silver nitrate a metal or nonmetal?

Silver nitrate is a compound that is composed of a metal (silver) and nonmetal (nitrate) elements. Silver is a metal because it is a good conductor of electricity, whereas nitrate is a nonmetal as it typically forms negative ions in chemical reactions.


Is silver nitrate a element?

no silver is an element nitrogen is an element silver nitrate is a compound
