Silver Nitrate (Crystals)
Silver Nitrate (Crystals) (Product Code: SCI-642/280) is analytical reagent grade silver nitrate in crystal form, dissolved by laboratories to make silver nitrate solution for identifying chloride, bromide and iodide ions and for argentometric titrations in school, college and water-testing work. The compact 25 g pack comes with an MSDS and suits departments that make up small volumes of fresh solution. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

What Is Silver Nitrate Used For?
In the halide test, a few drops of dilute silver nitrate solution are added to the sample after acidifying it with dilute nitric acid: chloride gives a white precipitate, bromide a cream one and iodide a pale yellow one, and their different behaviour in ammonia solution confirms which halide is present. The same reaction underlies Mohr's titration, in which chloride in water or salt samples is titrated with standard silver nitrate using potassium chromate as the indicator.
College organic labs prepare Tollens' reagent from silver nitrate for the silver-mirror test for aldehydes; make it fresh for each session and destroy leftovers promptly, because stored ammoniacal silver solutions can form explosive compounds. Silver nitrate is corrosive and leaves black stains on skin that take days to fade, so wear gloves and goggles and keep solutions in brown bottles away from light.
Supplier

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Silver Nitrate (Crystals) SCI-642/280 used for?
Silver Nitrate (Crystals) SCI-642/280 is used to prepare silver nitrate solution for halide ion tests, argentometric titrations such as Mohr's method for chloride, and the Tollens' silver-mirror test for aldehydes in chemistry and water-testing laboratories.
How much Silver Nitrate (Crystals) is in the pack?
The pack of Silver Nitrate (Crystals) SCI-642/280 holds 25 g of analytical reagent grade crystals with an MSDS. It suits labs that make small batches of fresh solution, and a larger-pack silver nitrate listing is available for heavier use.
Why must silver nitrate solution be kept in a brown bottle?
Silver nitrate solution made from Silver Nitrate (Crystals) slowly decomposes in light, darkening as metallic silver forms and losing strength. A brown or amber glass bottle kept in a cupboard keeps the solution usable for longer and your test results reliable.
What colours do halides give with silver nitrate?
With acidified silver nitrate solution made from Silver Nitrate (Crystals), chloride ions give a white precipitate, bromide ions a cream precipitate and iodide ions a pale yellow precipitate. Testing the precipitates with ammonia solution helps confirm which halide is present.
How should Silver Nitrate (Crystals) be stored?
Store Silver Nitrate (Crystals) in its tightly closed container in a cool, dark, dry place away from organic materials and reducing agents. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Who supplies Silver Nitrate (Crystals) SCI-642/280?
Silver Nitrate (Crystals) SCI-642/280 is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, with its MSDS to schools, colleges, testing laboratories and dealers in India and international markets.
