Introduction
Silver nitrate (AgNO3, MW 169.87) [7761-88-8] is known as lunar caustic. It is a colorless crystalline solid soluble in water. This is a versatile chemical used in photography, silver paints, dyes, chemical analysis and gravimetric analysis. AgNO3 is also used in pharmaceutical preparations, i.e. in eye lotions and for the treatment of gonorrhea. It is prepared by reacting silver with nitric acid and is purified by recrystallization.
