Tips on making Silver Nitrate solution
When making standard silver nitrate solution, make sure that the silver nitrate is of high purity. Dissolve silver nitrate in distilled Water. Store the solution in a capped glass container.
You need to know that: a) If the silver nitrate used is not of high purity the solution made will not be colourless b) if the solution is stored in a bottle that is not capped the solution will evaporate making the solution more concentrate. c) if tap water is used the dissolved solutes in tap water will interfere with the reactions.
Note: One Mole of Silver Nitrate weighs 169.87 grams. So a 1.0N solution is: 169.87 grams diluted to a volume of 1 Liter. (For standard silver nitrate Normal and Molar have the same meaning. (because it’s Valence is +1)
