Excerpt: Silver nitrate is an inorganic compound with chemical formula . This compound 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. It was once called lunar caustic because silver was called luna by the ancient alchemists, because they believed that silver was associated with the moon . In solid silver nitrate, the silver ions are three-coordinated in a trigonal planar arrangement. Albertus Magnus, in the 13th century, documented the ability of nitric acid to separate gold and silver by dissolving the silver. Magnus noted that the resulting solution of silver nitrate could blacken skin. Its common name at the time was nitric acid silver. Silver nitrate can be prepared by reacting silver, such as a silver bullion or silver foil, with nitric acid: 3 Ag + 4 3 + 2 + This is performed under a fume hood because of toxic nitrogen oxide given off in the reaction.
