Argentous oxide - Nature
Open Data Verified Data
brown-black heavy powder. Tasteless. d:57. 22. See Light heating can be gradually decomposed into silver and oxygen. Can absorb carbon dioxide in the air. Soluble in dilute nitric acid, ammonia, potassium cyanide solution, slightly soluble in sodium hydroxide solution, soluble in 40000 water, the aqueous solution is alkaline. Insoluble in ethanol. Under alkaline conditions, the formaldehyde solution can reduce the silver oxide to metallic silver. Decomposition began at about 200 °c.

Argentous oxide - Preparation Method
Open Data Verified Data
A sodium hydroxide solution was added to the silver nitrate solution to precipitate a silver oxide precipitate. The precipitate is washed with carbon dioxide-free water, suction filtered, and dried in dry air without carbon dioxide to obtain pure silver oxide.

Argentous oxide - Reference Information
| EPA chemical substance information | information provided by: ofmpeb.epa.gov (external link) |
| solubility in water (g/100ml) | grams dissolved per 100ml of water: 1.3 × 10-3/20 ℃ |
| Use | used in pharmaceutical and organic synthesis, used as polishing agent, colorant for glass, battery plate, used as oxidant, analytical reagent and preservative used in medical treatment and used as glass polishing agent, colorant, water purification agent mainly used as chemical synthesis catalyst. Also used as preservatives, electronic device materials, glass colorants and abrasives. silver oxide is an electrode material for silver oxide batteries. It is also a weak oxidant and weak base in organic synthesis, which can react with 1, 3-disubstituted imidazolium salts and benzimidazolium salts to form nitrogen heterocyclic carbenes, transition metal carbene complexes can be synthesized as carbene transfer reagents instead of the unstable ligand cyclooctadiene or acetonitrile. In addition, the silver oxide can convert organic bromides and chlorides into alcohols at low temperatures and in the presence of water vapor, and the benzyl halide is converted into benzyl ether, which is used in combination with methyl iodide as a methylation reagent, for use in carbohydrate methylation analysis and in Hoffmann elimination reactions, and oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids. It also acts as a surface catalyst for the epoxidation of alkenes.. |
