  • Applications

    Silver chloride (CAS 7783-90-6) is used in historical and specialized photography as the light-sensitive silver halide in photographic emulsions; in electrochemistry it forms the Ag/AgCl reference electrode and is a common sensor component in analytical devices; in analytical chemistry it is employed for chloride ion detection via precipitation as AgCl and as a reagent for chloride determinations and related qualitative tests; it serves as a calibration standard and reference material for chloride measurements; and it is used in educational laboratories to demonstrate halide chemistry and precipitation reactions.
