 CAS Number 7783-90-6

·         Empirical Formula (Hill Notation) AgCl

·         Molecular Weight 143.32

·          EC Number 232-033-3

·          MDL number MFCD00003399

·          PubChem Substance ID 24852260

Silver chloride is a chemical compound with the chemical formula AgCl. This white crystalline solid is well known for its low solubility in water (this behavior being reminiscent of the chlorides of Tl⁺ and Pb²⁺).

Detailed description

Upon illumination or heating, silver chloride converts to silver (and chlorine), which is signaled by greyish or purplish coloration to some samples. AgCl occurs naturally as a mineral chlorargyrite.

Uses

The silver chloride electrode is a common reference electrode in electrochemistry.

·         Silver chloride's low solubility makes it a useful addition to pottery glazes for the production of "Inglaze lustre".

·         Silver chloride has been used as an antidote for mercury poisoning, assisting in the elimination of mercury.

·         Silver chloride is used:

·         to make photographic paper since it reacts with photons to form latent image and via photoreduction

·         in photochromic lenses, again taking advantage of its reversible conversion to Ag metal

·         in bandages and wound healing products

·         to create yellow, amber, and brown shades in stained glass manufacture

·         as an infra-red transmissive optical component as it can be hot-pressed into window and lens shapes^[4]

·         as an antimicrobial agent:

·         in some personal deodorant products

·         for long-term preservation of drinking water in water tanks
