  2. Tollens' reagent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tollens'_reagent

    The diamine silver(I) complex in the mixture is an oxidizing agent and is the essential reactant in Tollens' reagent. The test is generally carried out in a test tube in a warm water bath. In a positive test, the diamine silver(I) complex oxidizes the aldehyde to a carboxylate ion and in the process is reduced to elemental silver and aqueous ...

  3. Silver nitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_nitrate

    A typical reaction with silver nitrate is to suspend a rod of copper in a solution of silver nitrate and leave it for a few hours. The silver nitrate reacts with copper to form hairlike crystals of silver metal and a blue solution of copper nitrate: 2 AgNO 3 + Cu → Cu(NO 3) 2 + 2 Ag. Silver nitrate decomposes when heated:

  4. Argentometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentometry

    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:

  6. Nitrate test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrate_test

    Nitrate Test by using Brown Ring Test. A common nitrate test, known as the brown ring test [2] can be performed by adding iron(II) sulfate to a solution of a nitrate, then slowly adding concentrated sulfuric acid such that the acid forms a layer below the aqueous solution. A brown ring will form at the junction of the two layers, indicating the ...

  7. Breathalyzer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breathalyzer

    A breath sample is bubbled through an aqueous solution of sulfuric acid, potassium dichromate, and silver nitrate. The silver nitrate acts as a catalyst, allowing the alcohol to be oxidized at an appreciable rate. The requisite acidic condition needed for the reaction might also be provided by the sulfuric acid.

  8. Argentation chromatography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentation_chromatography

    Silver ions form alkene complexes. The binding is reversible, but sufficient to impede the elution of the alkene-containing analytes. Structure of the complex of silver nitrate and trans-cyclooctene. Color code: red = O, bright blue = N, dark blue = Ag, gray = C, white = H. [3]

  9. Zeisel determination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeisel_determination

    The ensuing reaction results in the cleavage of the ether or the ester into an alkyl iodide and respectively an alcohol or a carboxylic acid. Zeisel determination. By heating this mixture, the gases are allowed to come into contact with a piece of paper higher up the test tube saturated with silver nitrate.
