Silver sulfate is the inorganic compound with the formula Ag2SO4. It is a white solid with low solubility in water.

Preparation and structure

image:Silver(I)-sulfate-xtal-2x2x2-3D-sf-v2.png

Silver sulfate precipitates when an aqueous solution of silver nitrate is treated with sulfuric acid:

:{{chem2 | 2 AgNO3 + H2SO4 -> Ag2SO4 + 2 HNO3 }}

It is purified by recrystallization from concentrated sulfuric acid, a step that expels traces of nitrate.{{cite book |author1=O. Glemser |title=Handbook of Preparative Inorganic Chemistry, 2nd Ed. |author2=R. Sauer |publisher=Academic Press |year=1963 |editor=G. Brauer |volume=2pages=1042 |place=NY, NY |chapter=Silver Sulfate}}

Silver sulfate and anhydrous sodium sulfate adopt the same structure.{{cite journal |doi=10.1524/zkri.1932.82.1.161 |title=Note on the Crystal Structure of Silver Sulphate, Ag2SO4 |year=1932 |last1=Zachariasen |first1=W.

Silver(II) sulfate

The synthesis of silver(II) sulfate (AgSO4) with a divalent silver ion instead of a monovalent silver ion was first reported in 2010{{Cite journal| doi = 10.1002/anie.200906863| pmid = 20084660| year = 2010| last1 = Malinowski | first1 = P.| last2 = Derzsi | first2 = M.| last3 = Mazej | first3 = Z.| last4 = Jagličić | first4 = Z.| last5 = Gaweł | first5 = B.| last6 = Lasocha | first6 = W.| last7 = Grochala | first7 = W.| title = Ag(II)SO(4): A Genuine Sulfate of Divalent Silver with Anomalously Strong One-Dimensional Antiferromagnetic Interactions.| volume = 49| issue = 9| pages = 1683–1686| journal = Angewandte Chemie International Edition in English | doi-access = free}} by adding sulfuric acid to silver(II) fluoride (HF escapes). It is a black solid that decomposes exothermically at 120 °C with evolution of oxygen and the formation of the silver(I) pyrosulfate.
