AgNO₃ also called silvertrioxonitate(iv) is a vital salt in analysis in inorganic chemistry.

Silvertrioxonitrate is a good reagent in qualitative analysis of chloride ions in solution of their salts.

Procedure

Weigh 17g of the AgNO₃ powder into a 5oml beaker, dissolve with little amount of distilled water, transfer into 1000ml volumentric flask and make up to the mark with distilled water.
