Maximum Solubility of Silver Nitrate in Water

1,000 grams of Silver Nitrate dissolves in 76.1 grams of water at 248°F and has a total volume of 356.26 ml.

Silver Nitrate Solubility in Other Materials

Silver Nitrate is not very soluble in concentrated Nitric Acid. 1,000 grams concentrated HNO₃ (about 70%) dissolves 2 grams AgNO₃.

Silver Nitrate is a little more soluble in dilute Nitric Acid.

• 1,000 grams 2HNO₃, 3H₂O dissolves 33.3 grams AgNO₃ at 20°C (68°F)
• 1,000 grams 2HNO₃, 3H₂O dissolves 166 grams AgNO₃ at 100°C (212°F)

Silver Nitrate is slightly soluble in Alcohols.

• 1,000 grams absolute Methyl Alcohol dissolves 37.2 grams AgNO₃ at 20°C (68°F)
• 1,000 grams absolute Ethyl Alcohol dissolves 31.0 grams AgNO₃ at 20°C (68°F)
• 1,000 grams 95% Ethyl Alcohol dissolves 73 grams AgNO₃ at 50°C (122°F)
• 1,000 grams 60% Ethyl Alcohol dissolves 581 grams AgNO₃ at 50°C (122°F)
• 1,000 grams 40% Ethyl Alcohol dissolves 983 grams AgNO₃ at 50°C (122°F)
• 1,000 grams 20% Ethyl Alcohol dissolves 2,140 grams AgNO₃ at 50°C (122°F)

Silver Nitrate is slightly soluble in Acetone.

• 1,000 grams Acetone dissolves 3.5 grams AgNO₃ at 14°C (57°F)
• 1,000 grams Acetone dissolves 4.4 grams AgNO₃ at 18°C (64°F)

Lab Notes: Silver Nitrate and Nitric Acid

The WRONG formula for Silver Nitrate plus Nitric Acid. Nearly all chemistry texts and thousands of websites list the following formula:

Ag + HNO₃ → AgNO₃

The CORRECT formula for Silver Nitrate plus Nitric Acid:

4Ag + 6HNO₃ → 4AgNO₃ + NO + NO₂ + 3H₂O
