silver nitrite

Silver nitrite has many applications.

Unlike silver nitrite, silver iodide is highly insoluble in water and thus forms a solid.

Silver nitrite is an inorganic compound with the formula AgNO.

Nitroalkene synthesis with nitryl iodide generated in-situ from silver nitrite and elemental iodine.

Silver nitrite is produced from the reaction between silver nitrate and an alkali nitrite, such as sodium nitrite.

Silver nitrite is much less soluble in water than silver nitrate, and a solution of sodium nitrate will readily precipitate silver nitrite upon addition of sodium nitrite:

Methyl nitrite can be prepared by the reaction of silver nitrite with iodomethane: Silver nitrite (AgNO) exists in solution as the silver ion, Ag and the nitrite ion, NO.

It can also be prepared by oxidizing ammonia with ozone or hydrogen peroxide, or in a precipitation reaction of barium or lead nitrite with ammonium sulfate, or silver nitrite with ammonium chloride, or ammonium perchlorate with potassium nitrite.
