The above chemical equation represents the reaction process between silver nitrate (AgNO3) and ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH), resulting in the formation of ammonium silver hydroxide (AgNH2OH) and nitric acid (HNO3).
- Reaction Conditions
This reaction typically occurs under room conditions, without the need for specific temperature or pressure requirements.
- Reaction Process
When silver nitrate (AgNO3) and ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH) come into contact with each other, they generate a chemical reaction, resulting in ammonium silver hydroxide (AgNH2OH) and nitric acid (HNO3). During this process, silver ions (Ag+) from AgNO3 combine with NH4OH to form AgNH2OH, while nitrate ions (NO3-) from AgNO3 combine with H+ to form HNO3.
- Occurring Phenomenon
When silver nitrate (AgNO3) reacts with ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH), a brown-black precipitate of ammonium silver hydroxide (AgNH2OH) is formed. At the same time, a characteristic smell of nitric acid (HNO3) is emitted.
