Question

Why the bottles containing silver salts are deep blue or black in colour?

Solution

  • Silver salts are light and sensitive and they may react with light very fast and lose their properties.
  • They may change their concentration and also affect pH.
  • Hence, they are stored in deep blue or black coloured bottles to prevent the entry of light.
