  • frederiksen Sølvnitrat er en giftig og ætsende kemisk forbindelse af sølv, kvælstof og ilt. I sin rene form ved stuetemperatur og i atmosfærisk tryk optræder stoffet som gennemsigtige eller hvide krystaller. Sølvnitrat bruges i fotografiske film og i fremstillingen af farvestoffer. Desuden udgør det “kilden” til sølv ved forsølvning (herunder forsølvning af glasplader som derved bliver til spejle). Sundhed og sygdom…

Under vingæring udskilles det sure kaliumsalt vinsten, der er udgangspunkt for den industrielle fremstilling af vinsyre. Kaliumsaltet omdannes til calciumsaltet, som derpå dekomponeres med svovlsyre. Den naturlige vinsyre er optisk højredrejende, men der findes også en venstredrejende form…
