Silver chlorate is an inorganic compound with molecular formula AgClO
3. It exists in two forms: white tetragonal prisms, and cubic crystals.[3][2][4] Like all chlorates, it is water-soluble and an oxidizing agent. As a simple metal salt, it is a common chemical in basic inorganic chemistry experiments.[citation needed] It is light-sensitive, so it must be stored in tightly closed dark-coloured containers.[5]
Silver(I) means silver is in its normal +1 oxidation state.
Production
Silver chlorate is produced by the reaction of silver nitrate with sodium chlorate to produce both silver chlorate and sodium nitrate:[5]
- AgNO
3 + NaClO
3 → AgClO
3 + NaNO
3
Alternatively, it may be produced by the bubbling of chlorine gas through a suspension of silver oxide (Ag
2O), or by dissolving Ag
2O or metallic silver in chloric acid.[2]
Safety
Aside from the potential dangers associated with strong oxidizers, silver chlorate may cause argyria, eye irritation, skin irritation, and temporary respiratory issues.[6]
It also has the potential to explode when heated very rapidly, or if exposed to ammonia which may form the explosive complex triamminesilver chlorate (AgClO
3 · 3NH
3).[2]
