Experiments With A Dangerous Silver Salt: Silver Nitrate
Ғылым және технология
Today we will do a few experiments with the dangerous silver salt silver nitrate. We made a silver tree using silver nitrate solution, I showed you what a silver stain on your arm looks like and the reaction of silver nitrate with chromate. We even coated a glass bottle in real silver.

Cool reactions! Since you have silver nitrate you should try titration for chloride using ammonium thiocyanate and ferric ammonium sulfate.
That silver mirror was beautiful. One can make and keep it as it is for lab decor.
Very cool stuff, subscribed and waiting for more
I like that you have been including tests for various substances in your videos. I feel like that is a simple thing most KZread chemistry videos leave out or don't cover.

Missing experiments: 1) Dry powdered silver nitrate + magnesium powder + a tiny drop of water - very spectacular. 2) Bubble acetylene into silver nitrate solution, carefully dry the precipitate and hit with a hammer.
Great video...After a flash explosion of water + silver nitrate +Mg , what happens with the physical silver pieces in the nitrate? the silver becomes a gas?
Nurd rage has a good video on nitric acid prep, you only need a about a 1-5% aq. solution if you need that flask perfectly clean.
Try "Queen Dido's drop" too (silver nitrate plus Mercury), it looks interesting
when I was at secondary school in the 1960's every chemistry lab bench place had at the front bottles of Dilute Sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid, Nitric acid, Silver Nitrate solution and Ammonia. Openly available to the students to use in their studies. Wouldn't happen today!

Did you know if you wear gloves it is harder to spill something on your skin?
I gave myself a really interesting stippled hand tattoo once when I burst a crystal of AgNO3 while lampworking some glass beads. Oh and by the way another way to get it on glass is reduce it to metallic silver in a flame.. just... you know, wear gloves.
Can i make Silver Acethylene Double Salt out of Silver Nitrate? Can you doing experiment avout how to making Silver Chloride?
Love the math"s"
Another neat one is bubbling some acetylene through some silver nitrate solution. It makes an energetic material called siver acetylide. It is very sensitive but is unique because neither part form a gas. 🤓

Has anyone tried the silver tree using slow cure epoxy as the solvent? 🤔 Btw do you think silver nitrite would work as an electrolyte for electrically crystallising silver. Nitrite not nitrate. I have a very tarnished troy ounce of silver and some badly discoloured agno2. After seeing this and some other silver refining videos I'm thinking of making a small scale silver cell out of a steel can and have the block of silver suspended in the middle as an anode. I have silver nitrate but I'd prefer to use a solution of this light degraded silver nitrite if I can. 🤔 I guess they are both just silver ions at the end of the day...

Silver xtals! I used to do that when I was a kid. We had a friendly druggist that, seeing my interest in chemistry, actually slipped me a few grams of this n that under the counter occasionally. I didn't mention the silver acetylide when I asked for AgNO3, nor did I mention silver fulminate, silver picrate, silver azide, etc. (just kidding, those came later when I met knowledgable older folks, no worries). Plenty of people have mentioned silver acetylide on YT I'm sure, as simply bubbling acetylene through aq. AgNO3 & filtering the white precipitate, washing it thoroughly with dist. water then placing it in a dark place is all there is to it(like many Ag salts, it's light sensitive). What many people don't mention is that when it dries it can act like ammonium nitrogen triiodide and detonate spontaneously - best to only prepare small quantities and handle it like a contact explosive, i.e. don't store it in glass containers, don't handle it roughly, etc etc etc. It's fun to make a few milligrams and light it to demonstrate it's properties, but again, keep in mind it can just go off any time for no apparent reason, especially when it's dry. (and being wet is no guarantee that it'll behave!) I believe the analogous silver methylacetylide can be made from MAPP gas, bur I've never tried it. ( they didn't have MAPP gas when I was a kid) It wouldn't surprise me if both organometallics had uses in organic synthesis, but of course the AgCCH would be prepared in situ. There's other acetylide salts, all with heavy metals AFAIK, but the ones I know of are all dangerous.

@@THYZOID It's exactly the mistake I made ! The solution, about 15 ml in a kind of test buble, was unused for about two days. A precipitate was deposited at the bottom of the test tube which, when I wanted to wash the test tube and touched the precipitate with a metal rod, it exploded and sprayed the bottom half of the test tube.

The experiments were great. Though, as I see it, you should have at least worn gloves in the first one. Now, I assume you know what you were doing and you took a calculated risk (though I would have put gloves on in that case). But people who don't actively do chemistry and won't know what they are doing if they will try it out might watch the video. It's good you at least warned about the dangers of silver nitrate, but I fear an amateur might watch this video, try the first experiment (which is pretty simple) without gloves, and get injured. Sorry for lecturing.

Genuine question: how toxic is a little silver nitrate (or silver) on the skin? It's unsightly to have a black spot on your hand, but will it make you ill?
@lauciansylvaranth2285
Жыл бұрын
@@fburton8 I am actually not sure about the effects of silver nitrate specifically, I can look it up same as you. but generally, you don't want to get exposed to any chemical you work with, and you should always work with gloves on and that was my point. I am pretty sure the black spot is caused by problems with oxygen transport or absorption by the cells it lands on though due to the silver nitrate. And silver or nitrate ions are not something that you need very much of (if at all) in your body, so it is probably really easy to get a lethal dose (I barely researched here so take it with a little grain of salt, but I feel like this is fairly accurate overall)

@@lauciansylvaranth2285 Thanks! I had vague memories of silver nitrate in the medicine cabinet when I was a kid (we're talking 1960s here), so I googled "medicinal use of silver nitrate" and found it is still used to kill or stop infections on skin. Of course, that would be a dilute solution, not crystals. And all kinds of potential nasties were used routinely in those days, including reagents I had in my chemistry lab - phenol, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, chlorofom, potassium permanganate (which stains the skin brown). Heavy metal salts like calomel (mercury chloride) were also used then and apparently continued to be used into the 1980s and beyond. Apart from having a small jar of lead chloride in my 'lab', I generally avoided heavy metals.
Very cool experiments! And also congratulations on 10 k subscribers! I just wrote you a message on Discord in case you are interested. ;-)
