The product is High Quality Silver acetate, with the CAS number 563 - 63 - 3. Silver acetate is an organic silver salt with the chemical formula CH₃COOAg. It appears as a white crystalline solid.
The molar mass of silver acetate is approximately 166.91 g/mol. It has a melting point of around 207 - 208 °C. Solubility is an important parameter. It is sparingly soluble in cold water but more soluble in hot water. In addition, it is soluble in dilute nitric acid, acetic acid, and ammonia.
Silver acetate has a wide range of applications in various fields. In the chemical synthesis field, it is often used as a mild oxidizing agent. It can participate in many organic synthesis reactions, such as the oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes or ketones. For example, in some cases, it can selectively oxidize primary alcohols to aldehydes without over - oxidizing them to carboxylic acids.
In the field of photography, although the use of traditional silver - based photography has declined, silver acetate can still be used in some special photographic processes. It can be involved in the formation of silver - based images, due to the ability of silver ions to react with light - sensitive materials.
In the medical field, silver has antibacterial properties. Silver acetate can be used in the preparation of some antibacterial materials, such as antibacterial coatings on medical devices to prevent the growth of bacteria and reduce the risk of infections.
When using high - quality silver acetate, first, make sure to handle it in a well - ventilated area, as it may release harmful fumes when heated or reacting with certain substances. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves and safety glasses.
If it is used in chemical synthesis, determine the appropriate reaction conditions according to the specific reaction. Usually, it is added to the reaction system in a solid state or as a solution. When preparing a solution, use an appropriate solvent according to its solubility characteristics, such as acetic acid or dilute nitric acid.
For applications in photography or medical fields, follow the relevant standard operating procedures. For example, in the preparation of antibacterial coatings, it needs to be evenly mixed with the base material under specific conditions to ensure the antibacterial effect.
Case 1: Organic Synthesis of a Fine Chemical
A research group was trying to synthesize a specific aldehyde compound from a primary alcohol. They chose silver acetate as the oxidizing agent. First, they dissolved 5 grams of silver acetate in 50 mL of glacial acetic acid under gentle heating to form a homogeneous solution. Then, they added 10 grams of the primary alcohol to the solution. The reaction was carried out at a temperature of 60 °C for 3 hours. After the reaction, they used appropriate separation and purification methods to obtain the target aldehyde with a yield of about 80%. This case shows that silver acetate can be an effective oxidizing agent in organic synthesis.
Case 2: Antibacterial Coating on a Medical Device
A medical device manufacturer wanted to develop an antibacterial coating for a catheter. They prepared a solution containing 1% silver acetate in a polymer solution. They dipped the catheter into this solution and then dried it in an oven at 50 °C for 2 hours. After testing, the coated catheter showed a significant reduction in bacterial adhesion compared to the uncoated one, which indicates that silver acetate can be used to enhance the antibacterial performance of medical devices.
