Is diamagnetic crystalline powder (cubic crystals) brown color with a density of 7.1 - 7.4 g/cm3, which slowly turns black when exposed to sunlight, releasing oxygen when heated to +200 º C silver oxide decomposes into elements:
Ag 2O = 2Ag + O2
Silver oxide CAS 11113-88-5 slightly soluble in water (0.017 g / l). Resulting solution has an alkaline reaction. And a like alkali hydroxides precipitates some metals from solutions of their salts. Hydrogen, carbon monoxide, hydrogen peroxide, and many metals restore silver oxide in aqueous slurry to metallic silver. A suspension of silver oxide (I) is used in medicine as antiseptic as well as other productions in different industries.
