Silver nitrate ACS is a solid substance that can range in color from colorless to white. Its chemical formula is AgNO3. This compound consists of silver in its +1 oxidation state and nitrate ions. It is also known by other names such as Nitric Acid Silver (+1) Salt, Lunar caustic, Nitrate d'argent, and Nitric acid silver(I) salt. It is a powerful oxidizing agent and is sensitive to light. Silver nitrate ACS can easily dissolve in water, alcohol, and aqueous ammonia, but it has limited solubility in ether. It is commonly found in ACS grade, which indicates its high purity suitable for laboratory and analytical purposes.
