What is SILVER CHLORATE?

Chemical properties

Silver Chlorate is a yellow to yellowish-gray powder. Con- tains 78% silver. Light-sensitive. Soluble in ammonium hydroxide, nitric acid; insoluble in alcohol and water.

The Uses of SILVER CHLORATE

Silver Chlorate is used in organic synthesis as an effective oxidizing agent for certain organic Compounds.

Hazard

Oxidizing agent, may react violently when shocked or heated, store away from combustible materials. Toxic by ingestion.

Purification Methods

Recrystallise the chlorate three times from water (10mL/g at 15o; 2mL/g at 80o). Store it in the dark. [Nicholson & Holley Inorg Synth II 4 1946, Glemser & Sauer in Handbook of Preparative Inorganic Chemistry (Ed. Brauer) Academic Press Vol I p 1037 1963.]
