  2. Silver nitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_nitrate

    Silver nitrate is an inorganic compound with chemical formula AgNO 3. It is a versatile precursor to many other silver compounds, such as those used in photography. It is far less sensitive to light than the halides. [citation needed] It was once called lunar caustic because silver was called luna by ancient alchemists who associated silver ...

    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 ...

    It was once called lunar caustic because silver was called luna by the ancient alchemists, who believed that silver was associated with the Moon. [47] [48] It is often used for gravimetric analysis, exploiting the insolubility of the heavier silver halides which it is a common precursor to. [27]
