What is the precipitate formed in the reaction between NaOH and AgNO3?

Christopher Burgess  Follow

NaOH + AgNO3 => NaNO3 + AgOH

AgOH is not chemically stable and undergo further rearrangement reaction to form Ag2O brown precipitation.

2AgOH => Ag2O (precipitate) + H2O

The chemical equation is:

[math]m{NaOH_{(aq)}+AgNO_{3{(aq)}}ightarrow{NaNO_3}_{(aq)}+AgOH_{(s)}}[/math]

The dark precipitate of silver hydroxide that forms would decompose to silver oxide [math]m{Ag_2O}.[/math]
