Silver Nitrate
Silver Nitrate (Product Code: SCI-234/154) is an analytical reagent grade silver salt used to test for chloride, bromide and iodide ions and to carry out precipitation titrations in school, college and testing laboratories. It is supplied in a 250 g pack with an MSDS, a practical quantity for departments that make up silver nitrate solution for regular salt analysis. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

What Is Silver Nitrate Used For?
In qualitative salt analysis, a few drops of dilute silver nitrate solution added to a sample acidified with nitric acid give a white precipitate with chloride, a cream precipitate with bromide and a yellow precipitate with iodide; adding ammonia solution then helps to tell them apart. In quantitative work, silver nitrate is the titrant for determining chloride in water or salt samples by precipitation (argentometric) titration.
Students also meet it in the silver mirror (Tollens') test for aldehydes, which uses silver nitrate with ammonia solution; prepare that reagent fresh and never store it. Silver nitrate darkens in light and leaves black stains on skin and clothing, so keep the solid and its solutions in amber bottles, wear gloves and goggles, and make up only as much solution as the class needs.
What to Specify When Ordering
- The number of 250 g packs needed for the year's salt analysis and titrations.
- Whether a smaller quantity from the separate Silver Nitrate (Crystals) listing would suit occasional use.
- Amber reagent bottles and burettes for storing and dispensing the prepared solution.
Supplier
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, a chemistry consumables supplier in India that sources Silver Nitrate for teaching and testing laboratories and sends each pack with its MSDS. It serves schools, colleges, dealers and importers, and bottles, burettes and companion reagents can be quoted on the same enquiry. Company information is on the ScienceLab profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Silver Nitrate SCI-234/154 used for?
Silver Nitrate SCI-234/154 is used to test for halide ions in salt analysis, as the titrant in chloride determinations and in the silver mirror test for aldehydes. Laboratories dissolve it in distilled water to make solutions of the strength their method specifies.
What pack size and grade is this Silver Nitrate?
This Silver Nitrate, product code SCI-234/154, is analytical reagent grade and comes in a 250 g pack with an MSDS. Laboratories needing only a little for occasional tests can ask about the separate Silver Nitrate (Crystals) listing.
Why must Silver Nitrate be kept away from light?
Silver Nitrate slowly decomposes in light, darkening as metallic silver forms, which weakens solutions and spoils results. Keep Silver Nitrate SCI-234/154 in its closed container or an amber bottle in a cool, dark cupboard, and label prepared solutions with their date.
Is Silver Nitrate hazardous to handle?
Yes. Silver Nitrate is an oxidising solid that can burn skin and eyes and leaves black stains, so wear gloves and safety goggles when weighing or pouring it. The MSDS supplied with Silver Nitrate SCI-234/154 gives first-aid and spill guidance.
What is the shelf life of Silver Nitrate?
The shelf life of Silver Nitrate SCI-234/154 depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted. Protecting the solid from light and moisture helps keep it in usable condition.
Who supplies Silver Nitrate SCI-234/154?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India supplies Silver Nitrate SCI-234/154 to schools, colleges, testing laboratories, dealers and importers in India and international markets. It is a sourced reagent, dispatched with its MSDS.
