General Description
Odorless white to gray solid. Sinks and mixes with water. (USCG, 1999)
Hazards
Reactivity Alerts
none
Air & Water Reactions
Water soluble.
Fire Hazard
No information available.
Health Hazard
Contact with eyes causes irritation. If continued for a long period, ingestion or inhalation of silver compounds can cause permanent discoloration of the skin (argyria). (USCG, 1999)
Reactivity Profile
SILVER SULFATE has weak oxidizing or reducing powers. Redox reactions can however still occur. The majority of compounds in this class are slightly soluble or insoluble in water. If soluble in water, then the solutions are usually neither strongly acidic nor strongly basic. These compounds are not water-reactive.
Belongs to the Following Reactive Group(s)
- Metals, Less Reactive
- Non-Redox-Active Inorganic Compounds
Potentially Incompatible Absorbents
