AgNO3, formed by the action of dilute nitric acid on metallic s. When deposited from its solution in nitric acid, it forms transparent rhombic crystals, crystallized s. nitrate, vitriol of s., the argenti nitras of the U. S. Ph. It fuses at 198 C., and solidifies into a white, compact, crystalline mass, fused or molded s. nitrate, the argenti nitras of the Br. Ph. It is soluble in less than half its weight of water, has a caustic metallic taste, and exerts a caustic action on organic substances by coagulating their albumin.
