Nitrate
The chemical formula for silver nitrate (known to chemists as argentic nitrate) is AgNO3. It is one of the most important salts of silver. It is readily made by dissolving the metal in moderate dilute nitric acid, and concentrating the solution, when it separates out in anhydrous tables belonging to the triclinic system. It dissolves in its own weight of cold water, forming a neutral solution, which is partly reduced by the actionof hydrogen with the production of metallic silver to silver nitrite. It is soluble in alcohol and ether. It melts at about 224° F. It rapidly attacks and destroys organic matter, and acts as a violent corrosive poison. It stains the skin, hair, etc, black. The salt blackens when exposed to light, more especially if organic matter of any kind be present. (To prevent this decomposition, the bottles containing the crystals should be covered with paper, as previously directed.)
