Hi, everyone.
My work relates to the synthesis of silver nanoparticles from the reduction reaction of silver nitrate solution. I have seen lots of topics reporting that the silver nitrate solution can react with sunlight, and subsequently, its color became dark.
Therefore, my question is what if the silver nitrate do not turn into dark (no change in color) after being stored at room condition, which means it is exposed to sunlight, for a certain period of time. Will it be a factor that affects my experiment? because I have got a strange experimental result so far.
Basically the color change in the solution is due to the oxidation of AgNO3 to AgO. The reason for no color change can be due to no or less oxidation reaction happened in your solution. Sun light is just a catalyst which plays only a part.
What is the strange experimental result obtained so far, can you share with us to suggest more!
Thank you.
color change is manly due to oxidation of silver nitrate. if there is no change in color it may be due to less or no oxidation
can silver nitrate solution in presence of sunlight indicate color change to naked eye
