Silver ammonia complex nitrate

Qualitative. The classic method for the quaUtative determination of silver ia solution is precipitation as silver chloride with dilute nitric acid and chloride ion. The silver chloride can be differentiated from lead or mercurous chlorides, which also may precipitate, by the fact that lead chloride is soluble ia hot water but not ia ammonium hydroxide, whereas mercurous chloride turns black ia ammonium hydroxide. Silver chloride dissolves ia ammonium hydroxide because of the formation of soluble silver—ammonia complexes. A number of selective spot tests (24) iaclude reactions with /)-dimethy1amino-henz1idenerhodanine, ceric ammonium nitrate, or bromopyrogaHol red [16574-43-9]. Silver is detected by x-ray fluorescence and arc-emission spectrometry. Two sensitive arc-emission lines for silver occur at 328.1 and 338.3 nm.

One of the fundamental problems of using chemistry such as this one, is the thermodynamic instability of the solution. In other words, if both the silver-ammonia complex and the reducing agent are present in solution the reaction may proceed irreversibly. In practical terms this means that the mixed solution is unstable and the details of the procedures do matter. In fact, one of the roles of the ammonia is to stabilize the silver ions, as unprotected silver nitrate solutions will be reduced by formaldehyde spontaneously under a wide range of conditions. 

Setting Up In a 10-mL Erlenmeyer flask, prepare a solution of silver ammonia complex from 2.5 mL of 0.1 A/f silver nitrate solution by adding ammonium hydroxide solution dropwise. Brown silver oxide forms first add just enough ammonium hydroxide to dissolve the silver oxide. Dilute the solution by adding 1.5 mL of water. 

Tollens reagent, another form of Ag(I), is prepared by dissolving silver nitrate in water, adding sodium hydroxide to precipitate Ag(I) as Ag20, and then adding aqueous ammonia to redissolve silver(I) as the silver-ammonia complex ion. 

Perhaps the cause of the misunderstanding lies in the method by which we are accustomed to observe the preparation of the silver-ammonia complex. When we add excess ammonia solution to silver nitrate solution the initial precipitate dissolves, forming the complex ion. This apparently means that ammonia is a much stronger base toward silver ion than hydroxyl ion is. But we must remember that the silver hydroxide precipitate is formed first. When the first few drops of ammonia solution are added the ammonia is so dilute that it is largely ionized to form hydroxyl ions which coordinate with the silver ions to form the hydroxide. But, by the time the precipitate is completely dissolved, the amount of ammonia added is enough so that if the silver ion were not present the concentration of NH3 would be roughly 100 times the concentration of OH ion. Actually, if concentrated sodium hydroxide solution is now added to the solution, the ammonia is displaced and the precipitate returns. This is what one would expect when mass-action effects are taken into account. The effects observed are similar whether the acid is the proton or the silver ion. The displacement of one base by another depends not only upon their relative strengths, but upon concentration factors also. 

Oxidation of the complexes [Ag(Py)4][MoF6] and [Ag(Py)2][UF6] in acetonitrile by MoF6 and UF6, respectively, leads to the silver(III) compounds [Ag(Py)4(NCMe)][MoF6]3 and [Ag(Py)2(NC-Me)3][UF6]3, which are strong oxidizing agents.167 Other pyridine silver(III) complexes have been obtained by oxidation of silver nitrate and ammonia with ammonium peroxydisulfate in aqueous... 

In a second procedure, useful for forming reversal or direct X-ray emulsions, a high concentration of ammonia is used to form a complex precipitate with silver bromide, by mixing ammoniacal silver nitrate and ammoniacal potassium bromide. Dilution with water decomposes the ammonia complex, and silver bromide grains form.9... 

Tannic acid-silver nitrate test The basis of this test is the reducing action of tannic acid (a glucoside of digallic acid) upon the silver ammine complex [Ag(NH3)2]+ to yield black silver it therefore precipitates silver in the presence of ammonia but not from a slightly acid silver nitrate solution. 

A mixed-valence silver(I)-silver(III) cryptate complex has been synthesized by condensation of tris(3-aminopropyl)amme and terephthaldehyde in the presence of AgNOs. Other pyridine silver(III) complexes have been obtained by oxidation of silver nitrate and ammonia with ammonimn peroxydisulfate in aqueous ammonia solution. An air-stable diamagnetic silver(III) complex of a N-confused tetraphenylporphyrin, 5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl-2-aza-21-carboporphyrin argentate(III), has been described. ... 

The alkylation of IbP 1 in an alkaline medium to give the corresponding anion follows another pathway. A mixture of 3-methyl-IbP 41 (in 33-40% yield) and 1-methyl-IbP 228 (in 8-9.3% yield) formed when base 1 was treated with methyl iodide in an alkaline alcoholic solution with cooling. These two substances were quite readily separated because isomer 228 unlike compound 41 formed complexes with silver(l) salts (nitrate or acetate) insoluble in water. The complex was easily decomposed when treated with aqueous ammonia. IbP benzylation by benzylphenyldimethylammonium chloride in alkali gave similar results. Isomers separated as silver salts afforded 3-benzyl-IbP (in 50-52%) and 1-benzyl-IbP (in 15.4-16% yield) (79SUP694511). 

In this case, we used the traditional method of impregnation, carried out in conditions leading to the formation of highly dispersed Ag particles on the support surface (1) samples were prepared with a low content of Ag ( 2 wt.%) (2) Ag was supported by adsorption on SiC>2 surface of the ammonia complex of the diluted silver nitrate solutions. In this case, the formation of the supported particles at the later stages of the sample preparation was mainly performed from the adsorbed silver complex. Contribution of this complex being in volume of support pores was practically excluded. (3) samples with supported silver complex were dried by the method of sublimation or by the adsorption-contact method which preserved the uniformity of adsorbed silver complex distribution on the support surface. This contributed to the obtention of a more homogeneous distribution of metal particles after subsequent reduction. The application of the adsorption-contact drying method for the preparation of the supported metal catalysts has not been found in literature. 

The precipitated acetyHde must be decomposed with hydrochloric acid after the titration as a safety measure. Concentrated solutions of silver nitrate or silver perchlorate form soluble complexes of silver acetyHde (89). Ammonia and hydrogen sulfide interfere with the silver nitrate method which is less... 

Only three simple silver salts, ie, the fluoride, nitrate, and perchlorate, are soluble to the extent of at least one mole per Hter. Silver acetate, chlorate, nitrite, and sulfate are considered to be moderately soluble. AH other silver salts are, at most, spatingly soluble the sulfide is one of the most iasoluble salts known. SHver(I) also forms stable complexes with excess ammonia, cyanide, thiosulfate, and the haUdes. Complex formation often results ia the solubilization of otherwise iasoluble salts. Silver bromide and iodide are colored, although the respective ions are colorless. This is considered to be evidence of the partially covalent nature of these salts. 

Silver Bromide. Silver bromide, AgBr, is formed by the addition of bromide ions to an aqueous solution of silver nitrate. The light yellow to green-yeUow precipitate is less soluble in ammonia than silver chloride, but it easily dissolves in the presence of other complexing agents, such as thiosulfate ions. 

Silver Chloride. Silver chloride, AgCl, is a white precipitate that forms when chloride ion is added to a silver nitrate solution. The order of solubility of the three silver halides is Cl" > Br" > I. Because of the formation of complexes, silver chloride is soluble in solutions containing excess chloride and in solutions of cyanide, thiosulfate, and ammonia. Silver chloride is insoluble in nitric and dilute sulfuric acid. Treatment with concentrated sulfuric acid gives silver sulfate. 

Silver Iodide. Silver iodide, Agl, precipitates as a yellow soHd when iodide ion is added to a solution of silver nitrate. It dissolves in the presence of excess iodide ion, forming an Agl2 complex however, silver iodide is only slightly soluble in ammonia and dissolves slowly in thiosulfate and cyanide solutions. 

Remove the bath with water, remove the rubber tube with a bent glass tip from the end of the apparatus, and pass the carbon(II) oxide through ammonia solutions of silver nitrate and copper(I) chloride poured into test tubes.
