Silver nitrate is a natural compound that is used as an antiinfective agent. Silver nitrate topical (for use on the skin) is used to cauterize infected tissues around a skin wound. Silver nitrate can also help create a scab to help stop bleeding from a minor skin wound.
Silver nitrate solution can be used to find out which halogen is present in a suspected halogenoalkane. The most effective way is to do a substitution reaction which turns the halogen into a halide ion, and then to test for that ion with silver nitrate solution.
Silver nitrate solution is used for studying the Golgi Apparatus. Golgi apparatus is an organelle that is present in eukaryotic cells which consists of a stack of flattened sacs. Other names used for Golgi Apparatus are Golgi Complex, Golgi body or Golgi.
