About Silver Salt

Silver salt, also known as silver nitrate is an inorganic compound that must be stored away from organic compounds. Its chemical formula is AgNO3 as is produced by reacting silver (Ag) with nitrite acid (HNO3). Many other silver compounds and silver salts can be prepared using this inorganic chemical compound.

Offered in powder form, Silver Salt is reckoned for its light sensitive properties. It is usually used in photographic paper and films. This white crystalline powder is also used to formulate hair dye, silver plating and colorfast ink. It also finds use in electroplating, mirrors making, pesticides and many other applications. As suitable reagent, this substance is used in analytical chemistry. Its melting point is 212 degree C and has 99.8% minimum purity. Its water solubility is 219 gram per 100 ml at 20 degree Celsius. Its density is 4.352 and its boiling point is 444 degree Celsius.

Silver salt must be stored away from all flammable or combustible chemicals. This is a caustic chemical which is why personnel handling and using it must wear personal protective equipment.

Premium Analytical Grade Quality

Silver Sulfate provided is of Analytical Grade, ensuring a purity of 99%. Its fine powder form and moisture content below 1% make it exceptionally suitable for sensitive laboratory and industrial applications. With an extended shelf life of two years, it maintains its stability and reliability under recommended storage conditions.

Versatile Applications Across Industries

This compounds chemical stability and high purity allow it to be efficiently used in electroplating, as a reagent in laboratories, and in various pharmaceutical processes. Its controlled particle size and low ash percentage (<0.1%) offer consistent results across applications.

Safe Handling and Packaging

Silver Sulfate comes packaged in robust HDPE bottles or customized containers, protecting it from moisture and contamination. To preserve its quality, it should be stored in a cool, dry place and handled with standard laboratory protective equipment.

FAQs of Silver Salt:

Q: How should Silver Sulfate be properly stored to maintain its quality?

A: Silver Sulfate should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and humidity. Keeping the product in its original HDPE bottle or a similarly protective container helps prevent moisture absorption and contamination.

Q: What are the primary applications of Silver Sulfate in laboratories and industry?

A: Silver Sulfate is widely used as a laboratory reagent, particularly in analytical chemistry, and in electroplating processes. It is also employed in pharmaceutical industries for various synthesis and analytical procedures due to its high purity.

Q: When is Silver Sulfate typically selected over other silver salts?

A: Silver Sulfate is chosen when a stable, nearly water-insoluble source of silver ions is needed, or where the presence of chloride anions (from other silver salts) must be avoided in sensitive analytical or synthetic applications.

Q: Where is Silver Sulfate commonly supplied from, and what packaging options are available?

A: Silver Sulfate is manufactured and supplied in India. It is typically packaged in HDPE bottles to ensure chemical stability, with customized packaging available upon request for specific application requirements.

Q: What is the recommended process for using Silver Sulfate in laboratory experiments?

A: To use Silver Sulfate in laboratory experiments, accurately measure the required amount, dissolve or suspend it in your working solution as needed, and handle the compound using appropriate personal protective equipment in a well-ventilated space.

Q: What benefits does high-purity Silver Sulfate offer for analytical and industrial use?

A: High-purity Silver Sulfate (99%) ensures reliable, reproducible results in analytical measurements and industrial applications, minimizing the risk of interference from impurities and providing greater consistency in outcomes.

Q: How does the solubility of Silver Sulfate affect its usage?

A: Silver Sulfate is only slightly soluble in water, making it ideal for reactions or processes that require a slow, controlled release of silver ions or where minimal dissolution is desired.
