Silver nitrate is very susceptible to reactions that destroy it, catalyzed by short wavelength light, which is strongly absorbed by brown bottles.
When copper metal is placed in a solution of silver nitrate, a reddish-brown solid called copper(I) oxide is formed on the surface of the copper. This occurs due to a single displacement reaction where copper displaces silver from the silver nitrate solution.
Silver nitrate is light-sensitive and can degrade upon exposure to light, leading to a reduction in purity and effectiveness. Protecting it from light helps maintain its stability and prevent degradation, ensuring its efficacy in various applications.
A displacement reaction, in which the copper dissolves to form copper nitrate and replaces silver ions in the original silver nitrate, reducing the silver ions to metallic silver.
The brown ring test is a qualitative test used to detect the presence of the nitrate anion. In the test, a sample containing nitrate ions is treated with freshly prepared iron(II) sulfate solution and concentrated sulfuric acid. A brown ring at the junction of the two layers forms if nitrate ions are present.
Look at it, chlorine is a yellow-green gas, bromine is a red-brown fuming liquid.
Silver nitrate is slightly photosensitive. In order to prevent it from under going decomposition or maintain its self properties it is stored in brown bottles.
When copper metal is placed in a solution of silver nitrate, a reddish-brown solid called copper(I) oxide is formed on the surface of the copper. This occurs due to a single displacement reaction where copper displaces silver from the silver nitrate solution.
Silver nitrate is light sensitive and can easily decompose upon exposure to light, leading to the formation of silver oxide. Storing it in brown glass bottles helps to protect it from light and prevent this decomposition reaction, preserving its stability and efficacy.

A redox reaction will occur, with copper displacing lead from the lead nitrate solution to form copper nitrate and lead. The copper will turn into a reddish-brown color due to the formation of copper ions in the solution.

The Brown ring test is performed by adding a small amount of nitric acid to a nitrate solution containing a Fe2+ ion. A brown ring forms at the junction of the two layers if the nitrate ion is present. The test is based on the reaction between Fe2+ and NO+ ions.
Silver bromide is sensitive to light and can degrade when exposed to it. Storing it in brown bottles helps to protect it from light exposure, which can prevent unwanted chemical reactions and maintain its quality and effectiveness for longer periods of time.
Silver bromide reacts chemically when exposed to light, which is why they use it to make photographic papers.
A common nitrate test is known as the brown ring test or iron ring test.It can be performed by adding FeSO4 to the solution, then slowly adding concentrated sulfuric acid and watching for a brown ring on the test tube, which will indicate the presence of the nitrate ion.[Fe(H2O)5NO]SO4 forms a brown ring in the middle of the solution produced by the reaction;the 'NO' part of this complex comes from the auto-redox of nitrate NO3- to NO (and O2) by sulfuric acid.Note that the presence of nitrite ions will interfere with this test, reacting directly as 'NO'.Do NOT use nitric acid, since it gives nitrate ion which gives a positive result anyway).
