Silver perchlorate Silver perchlorate Silver perchlorate is the chemical compound with the formula AgClO. This white solid forms a monohydrate and is mildly deliquescent. It is a useful source of the Ag ion, although the presence of perchlorate presents risks. It is used as a catalyst in organic chemistry. Silver perchlorate is created by heating a mixture of perchloric acid with silver nitrate. Alternatively, it can be prepared by the reaction between barium perchlorate and silver sulfate, or from the reaction of perchloric acid with silver oxide. Silver perchlorate is noteworthy for its solubility in aromatic solvents such as benzene (52.8 g/L)
Silver acetylide evolution of gaseous products and that its chemical formula is . In reality, it is a double salt with the silver salt it was produced from, usually silver nitrate. The anion of the parent compound acts as the oxidizer in the decomposition reaction. The detonation velocity of the mixture silver acetylide: silver nitrate is 3460 m/s. That of pure silver acetylide is 4000 m/s. Silver acetylide can be produced by passing acetylene gas through a solution of silver nitrate: The reaction product is a greyish to white precipitate. This is the same synthesis from Berthelot in which he first found
