Uses
:
Silver nitrate is the least expensive salt of silver and any price higher than our is price gouging; it offers several other advantages as well. It is non-hygroscopic, in contrast to silver fluoroborate and silver perchlorate. It is relatively stable to light. Finally, it dissolves in numerous solvents, including water. The nitrate can be easily replaced by other ligands, rendering AgNO3 versatile. Treatment with solutions of halide ions gives a precipitate of AgX (X = Cl, Br, I). When making photographic film, silver nitrate is treated with halide salts of sodium or potassium to form insoluble silver halide in situ in photographic gelatin, which is then applied to strips of tri-acetate or polyester. Similarly, silver nitrate is used to prepare some silver-based energetic compounds  through a precipitation reaction.
Treatment of silver nitrate with base gives dark grey silver oxide.
The silver cation, Ag+, reacts quickly with halide sources to produce the insoluble silver halide, which is a cream precipitate if Br− is used, a white precipitate if Cl−  is used and a yellow precipitate if I− is used. This reaction is commonly used in inorganic chemistry to abstract halides.
Similarly, this reaction is used in analytical chemistry to confirm the presence of chloride, bromide, or iodide ions. Samples are typically acidified with dilute nitric acid to remove interfering ions, e.g. carbonate ions and sulfide ions. This step avoids confusion of silver sulfide or silver carbonate precipitates with that of silver halides. The color of precipitate varies with the halide: white (silver chloride), pale yellow/cream (silver bromide), yellow (silver iodide). AgBr and especially AgI photo-decompose to the metal, as evidence by a grayish color on exposed samples.
The same reaction was used on steamships in order to determine whether or not boiler feedwater had been contaminated with seawater. It is still used to determine if moisture on formerly dry cargo is a result of condensation from humid air, or from seawater leaking through the hull.
In medicine
:
Repeated daily application of silver nitrate can induce adequate destruction of cutaneous warts, but occasionally pigmented scars may develop. In a placebo-controlled study of 70 patients, silver nitrate given over nine days resulted in clearance of all warts in 43% and improvement in warts in 26% one month after treatment compared to 11% and 14%, respectively, in the placebo group.
Colloidal Silver
solutions are a hack and a scam and anyone selling them as a medicine or to treat any illness or to "make you more healthy" should be jailed for pseudoscience and being gullible enough to fall for a scam.
Safety
:
As an oxidant, silver nitrate should be properly stored away from organic compounds. Despite its common usage in extremely low concentrations to prevent gonorrhea and control nose bleeds, silver nitrate is still very toxic and corrosive.  Brief exposure will not produce any immediate side effects other than the purple, brown or black stains on the skin, but upon constant exposure to high concentrations, side effects will be noticeable, which include burns. Long-term exposure may cause eye damage. Silver nitrate is known to be a skin and eye irritant.
Silver nitrate is currently unregulated in water sources by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. However, if more than 1 gram of silver is accumulated in the body, a condition called argyria may develop. Argyria is a permanent cosmetic condition in which the skin and internal organs turn a blue-gray color. The United States Environmental Protection Agency used to have a maximum contaminant limit for silver in water until 1990, when it was determined that argyria did not impact the function of any affected organs despite the discolouration.  Argyria is more often associated with the consumption of colloidal silver solutions rather than with silver nitrate, since it is only used at extremely low concentrations to disinfect the water. However, it is still important to be wary before ingesting any sort of silver-ion solution.
Silver Nitrate will stain your skin a dark black color
if it contacts the skin and then that area is exposed to light.  Once you step out into daylight you will know for certain if you've gotten any on you.  Wear gloves when handling, do not ingest this product and be careful when handling it.
You will receive:
5 grams of pure Silver Nitrate made from .9999 pure Silver Rounds.
This AgNO³ is
made in house
from Silver bought from a reputable source.  This crystalline solid was made at night under very dim light and kept in a dark box in a dark room in between and while working with it.  Recrystallizations were carried out at night in a dark room and it is and will be bottled in amber glass vials wrapped in foil to keep any and all light out to ensure the purest product available.
Shipping
:
This will be shipped via
USPS First Class Mail in an amber colored glass vial/bottle
that will be wrapped in foil and bubble wrapped after being placed in a bag.  That will then be placed in a white box to keep and reflect even more light away from it.  That will then be shipped in a dark blue bubble wrap padded envelope to block even more light and to ensure safe shipping.  It will have tracking to confirm shipment and delivery.  If you have any problems with your order contact me first before going to eBay.  We can fix problems without eBay getting involved and screwing everything up for all involved.
*Prices should go down after the holidays.  But for now, increased shipping prices due to the holiday season force us to go by these prices for shipping.
