Product Overview

Silver Nitrate 0.02 Normal (N/50) Volumetric Solution (CAS No. 7761-88-8) is a prepared dilute silver nitrate titrant supplied at the stated 0.02 Normal concentration. Silver(I) reacts stoichiometrically with suitable halide and pseudohalide ions to form sparingly soluble precipitates, permitting quantitative determination by argentometric procedures. Because this catalogue item is a solution, its analytical identity includes the stated normality and cannot be reduced simply to the properties of solid silver nitrate.

The Volumetric Solution form is intended for titrations and analytical procedures requiring the lower N/50 silver nitrate concentration, particularly where a more dilute titrant is appropriate for the anticipated analyte level or method design. The concentration notation is preserved exactly as supplied. No unprovided solvent composition, preparation factor or metrological certification is inferred.

Typical Applications

• Argentometric titration of relatively low concentrations of chloride.
• Determination of other suitable halides using dilute silver-ion titration.
• Mohr-type precipitation titrations where 0.02 N reagent is method-appropriate.
• Volhard- or Fajans-type procedures requiring dilute silver nitrate.
• Laboratory method development for lower-level precipitation titration.
• QC and verification of analytical procedures specifying N/50 silver nitrate.

Common Synonyms

• 0.02 N silver nitrate solution
• N/50 silver nitrate solution
• Silver nitrate volumetric solution

Storage Conditions

Store tightly closed and protected from light while minimising evaporation that could change the stated solution concentration. Prevent contamination by halides, reducing agents or particulate matter because even small amounts can be significant in a comparatively dilute volumetric reagent.
