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)
Chemical equation a 2 before O, giving the balanced equation: This equation does not have any coefficients in front of CH and CO, since a coefficient of 1 is dropped. Generally, any chemical equation involving "J" different molecules can be written as: where "R" is the symbol for the "j-th" molecule, and ν is the stoichiometric coefficient for the "j-th" molecule, positive for products, negative for reactants (or vice versa). A properly balanced chemical equation will then obey: where the composition matrix "a" is the number of atoms of element "i" in molecule "j". Any vector which, when operated upon by the
