Silver nitrate is a chemical compound with chemical formula AgNO3. This nitrate of silver is a light-sensitive ingredient in photographic film and is a poisonous, corrosive compound. Silver nitrate crystals can be produced by dissolving silver in nitric acid and evaporating the solution. The compound notably stains skin a greyish or black color that is made visible after exposure to sunlight. Silver nitrate has been used as an antiseptic, dropped into newborn babies' eyes at birth. This is to prevent contraction of gonorrhoea or chlamydia from their mother. A very weak solution is used for this, (about 1%) and there are very few side effects. Mythically, silver nitrate was used as a method of killing vampires, with the silver nitrate generally being injected into a bullet cartridge or used in a hypodermic needle. Fused silver nitrate, shaped into sticks, was traditionally called lunar caustic and used as a cauterizing agent. It can also be used in wound management to 'knock back' over-granulation of tissue in healing wounds such as ulcers and sinuses. [edit]
Silver nitrate can be used in a medical environment as a chemical cauterizing agent and medicinal caustic. A typical applicator is composed of 75% silver nitrate with 25% potassium nitrate. As the silver nitrate contacts with water (in the blood) the compound goes into solution forming nitric acid. The acid subsequently is responsible for the cautery effect. As mentioned above this will typically result in a black or greyish staining of the skin. This staining is caused by the accumulation of the silver and will typically go away as the body rids itself of the mineral. Retrieved from "http://wiki.bmezine.com/index.php/Silver_Nitrate"
Silver nitrate is an effective anti-biotic and is frequently used in surgical dressing.
That's Silver Nitrate, which is the chemical used to cauterize the blood vessel. I've had two nose cauterization done recently due to nosebleeds, and both times a bit of silver nitrate gone onto my skin right outside my nostril. Initially I was worried that I might not be able to get it off, but after about 2 1/2 days, I see that it was flecking off a bit when I rubbed it, and so I lightly scratched it, and the brown spots came off! ^-^
The molecular formula of silver nitrate is AgNO3. Silver nitrate is extensively used in analytical chemistry as a reagent. You can take silver nitrate solution in a beaker and electrolyze it to get silver in the negative potential.
Silver nitrate is the English name of the compound AgNO3, used for photography and several biological uses. Please see the related links for additional information.
silver nitrate and potassium iodide can be used.
In certain reaction conditions, yes. Copper is more reactive than silver, so it should react with the nitrate molecule to form copper nitrate while precipitating the silver. *Are you thinking about separating silver from photographic fixer? Commonly a less expensive metal is used like iron (steel wool) to extract much of the silver.

Silver nitrate.
The molecular formula for silver nitrate is AgNO3.This white solid is often used as a precursor to many other silver compounds.
Iodide
The migration of Ag+ in silver nitrate solution is very fast leading to an uneven deposition of the metal silver on the substrate. Hence not been used for electroplating.
Silver nitrate is not toxic, although it is certainly not nutritious. Normally it is used in photography, not in food. Personally I wouldn't eat it.
silver nitrate
yes
i think it is used in making mirrors
