Of these reactions used to leach silver chloride from silver ores, cyanidation is the most commonly used. Cyanidation produces the soluble dicyanoargentate complex, which is later turned back to silver by reduction. [4]: 26 Silver chloride does not react with nitric acid, but instead reacts with sulfuric acid to produce silver sulfate. [12]
Schulze is best known for his discovery that the darkening in sunlight of various substances mixed with silver nitrate is due to the light, not the heat as other experimenters believed, and for using the phenomenon to temporarily capture shadows. [1] Schulze's experiments with silver nitrate were undertaken in about 1717. [2]
The glass version of these lenses achieves their photochromic properties through the embedding of microcrystalline silver halides (usually silver chloride) in a glass substrate. Plastic photochromic lenses use organic photochromic molecules (for example oxazines and naphthopyrans ) to achieve the reversible darkening effect.
In analytical chemistry, argentometry is a type of titration involving the silver(I) ion. Typically, it is used to determine the amount of chloride present in a sample. The sample solution is titrated against a solution of silver nitrate of known concentration. Chloride ions react with silver(I) ions to give the insoluble silver chloride:
A photochromic eyeglass lens, after exposure to sunlight while part of the lens remained covered by paper. Photochromism is the reversible change of color upon exposure to light. It is a transformation of a chemical species ( photoswitch ) between two forms by the absorption of electromagnetic radiation ( photoisomerization ), where the two ...

A silver halide (or silver salt) is one of the chemical compounds that can form between the element silver (Ag) and one of the halogens.In particular, bromine (Br), chlorine (Cl), iodine (I) and fluorine (F) may each combine with silver to produce silver bromide (AgBr), silver chloride (AgCl), silver iodide (AgI), and four forms of silver fluoride, respectively.
Some silver oxide powder.. Silver is a relatively unreactive metal, although it can form several compounds. The common oxidation states of silver are (in order of commonness): +1 (the most stable state; for example, silver nitrate, AgNO 3); +2 (highly oxidising; for example, silver(II) fluoride, AgF 2); and even very rarely +3 (extreme oxidising; for example, potassium tetrafluoroargentate(III ...
