Silver Carbonate

Product Description

Silver Carbonate (Ag₂CO₃) is a high-purity, light-sensitive inorganic compound widely used in analytical chemistry, organic synthesis, and industrial catalysis. It appears as a yellow to light brown powder that darkens upon exposure to light due to decomposition into metallic silver.

Known for its oxidizing and basic properties, Silver Carbonate is an important reagent in organic and pharmaceutical synthesis, where it acts as a mild oxidizing agent and silver ion source. It is also used in preparation of other silver salts, gas purification systems, and electronic materials manufacturing.
