Silver Nitrate AR ACS

About Silver Nitrate AR ACS

Silver Nitrate AR ACS is a high-purity, analytical reagent grade of silver nitrate (AgNO3). It's commonly used in laboratories and industries for various applications due to its purity and reliability. "AR" stands for Analytical Reagent, and "ACS" indicates it meets the standards set by the American Chemical Society (ACS) for reagent chemicals. Here's a more detailed description:Chemical Formula and Properties:

• Formula: AgNO3 
• Appearance: Typically appears as colorless or white, crystalline powder or crystals. 
• Purity: AR/ACS grade signifies a high level of purity, often specified as 99.8% or higher on an anhydrous basis. 
• Solubility: Readily soluble in water. 
• Other Properties: Sensitive to light and organic matter, turning black upon exposure. 

Key Features and Uses:

• Analytical Reagent: Used as a standard in analytical chemistry for titrations, precipitations, and other quantitative and qualitative tests. 
• Silver Plating: A precursor for silver plating and other silver-based coatings. 
• Photography: Used in the production of photographic films and papers. 
• Staining Agent: Employed in histology, microscopy, and protein visualization. 
• Organic Synthesis: Used in various organic reactions, including alkene separation and deprotection/oxidation. 
• Antiseptic/Antimicrobial: A component in some silver-based antiseptic and antibacterial formulations. 
• Wound Care: Used in chemical cauterization to stop bleeding, promote scab formation, and treat certain skin conditions. 

Safety Precautions:

• Light Sensitivity: Should be stored in a dark container to prevent decomposition.
• Skin and Eye Irritant: Can cause irritation upon contact.
• Toxic by Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed.
• Environmental Hazard: May be harmful to aquatic life. 

Distinction from Other Grades:

• AR/ACS vs. Other Grades:AR/ACS grade is generally considered superior to other grades like technical grade, offering higher purity and reliability for critical applications. 
• ACS vs. ISO:While both are quality standards, ACS is specific to the American Chemical Society, while ISO is a broader international standard. 

Premium Analytical Quality

Silver Nitrate AR ACS meets rigorous ACS reagent standards, ensuring reliable and accurate results in analytical, research, and industrial applications. Its high purity (99%) and physical consistency make it ideal for titrations, qualitative analysis, and synthesis processes. Supplied by reputed distributors and manufacturers across India, it is trusted in laboratories for consistent performance.


Safe Packaging and Storage

The product is securely packed in sealed bottles, preventing exposure to contaminants and light, which could degrade its quality. Light sensitivity is a key characteristic, so storage at room temperature away from direct sunlight is crucial to preserve its potency and extend its shelf life up to 12 months.
