Silver sulfate is an ionic compound of silver with the formula Ag2SO4, mainly used in silver plating and as a non-staining substitute to silver nitrate. It is also used in analytical chemistry.
Contents
Properties
Chemical
Silver sulfate darkens upon exposure to light, though this process requires many hours.
Physical
Silver sulfate is a white solid, extremely poorly soluble in water (0.83 g/100 ml at 25 °C), but soluble in concentrated sulfuric acid. It is quite stable under ordinary conditions of use and storage, though it darkens upon exposure to air or light.
Availability
Silver sulfate is sold by various chemical suppliers, though it's not cheap.
Preparation
Silver sulfate can be prepared by reacting concentrated sulfuric acid with silver nitrate:
- 2 AgNO3 + H2SO4 → Ag2SO4 + 2 HNO3
Projects
- Silver plating
- Compound collecting
Handling
Safety
Silver sulfate should not be handled without protection, as it will darken when exposed to light.
Storage
Silver sulfate should be kept in closed bottles, away from light and air.
Disposal
Best to recycle it.
