Silver nitrate facts

  • Silver nitrate is a colorless or white crystalline salt that dissolves easily in water.
  • It is used to test for chloride, bromide, and iodide ions, to make the silver halides in photographic film, and in medicine to cauterize small wounds and warts.
  • It leaves black or brown stains on skin because silver ions are reduced to tiny particles of metallic silver, especially in light.
