=> Silver nitrate is a very strong oxidizing agent.
=> It stains the skin black as it is photosensitive.
=> It is a photosensitive compound that decomposes in the presence of sunlight and moisture to give black or brown silver oxide and nitric acid.
=> Its solution gives a curdy white precipitate of Silver chloride with the chloride anion.
=> Ammoniacal Silver Nitrate solution gives a yellowish-white precipitate of Silver Acetylide with Ethyne.
=> Ammoniacal silver nitrate is also called as Tollen's reagent, it is strongly oxidizing in nature and oxidizes aldehydes to give Carboxylates and Silver metal (Silver mirror). This serves as a test for the aldehydic group (-CHO).
