Fulminating silver

Japanese: 雷銀 - らいぎん(英語表記)fulminating silver
Fulminating silver
Chemical formula: Ag 3 N. Common name for silver nitride. It is also called Berthollet's fulminate because it was first discovered by CL Berthollet. Silver oxide dissolves in concentrated aqueous ammonia to form ammine complex ions, but if this is left for a long time, a dark precipitate is formed. This is fulminate. It is extremely explosive and is dangerous, especially when subjected to shock; even shaking a liquid containing it can cause an explosion. Care must be taken when storing alkaline waste liquid containing silver ammonia. Silver fulminate (AgONC) is sometimes called fulminate, but it is actually a different substance.

Japanese:
化学式Ag3N。窒化銀の俗称。C.L.ベルトレによって最初に見いだされたのでベルトレの雷銀ともいう。酸化銀は濃アンモニア水でアンミン錯イオンを生成して溶けるが,これを長く放置しておくと暗色の沈殿が得られる。これが雷銀である。きわめて爆発性が強く,とくに衝撃を与えると危険であり,これを含む液を揺り動かしただけでも爆発する。銀のアンモニアを含むアルカリ性廃液の保存は注意しなければならない。なお雷酸銀AgONCのことを雷銀ということもあるが,本来別の物質である。
