Silver tetrafluoroborate Silver tetrafluoroborate Silver tetrafluoroborate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula AgBF. It is a white solid that dissolves in polar organic solvents as well as water. In its solid state, the Ag centers are bound to fluoride. Silver tetrafluoroborate is prepared by the reaction between boron trifluoride and silver oxide in the presence of benzene. In the inorganic and organometallic chemistry laboratory, silver tetrafluoroborate, sometimes referred to "silver BF-4", is a useful reagent. In dichloromethane, silver tetrafluoroborate is a moderately strong oxidant. Similar to silver hexafluorophosphate, it is commonly used to replace halide anions or ligands with the
Chemical equilibrium molecule (negative for reactants, positive for products) and "R" is the symbol for the "j" th molecule, a properly balanced equation will obey: Multiplying the first equilibrium condition by ν yields As above, defining ΔG which will be zero at equilibrium. Chemical equilibrium In a chemical reaction, chemical equilibrium is the state in which both reactants and products are present in concentrations which have no further tendency to change with time, so that there is no observable change in the properties of the system. Usually, this state results when the forward reaction proceeds at the same rate as the reverse
