AgNO3 + NH4 = ?

Question

So basically i accidentaly mixed some chemicals in chem class and i was wonderin wat i had made. It was some NH4 and a little bit of AgNo3 (not sure the concentrations) I ended up with a really strong smell that almost smelled like dry erase board markers and it gave me a headache for little while. We were using phenolpthalene in the NH4 and the AgNO3 turned it from a pink to a cream pinkish color...im not too sure wat it had come out to be though or if it was deadly or anything...i was just curious

ya actually now that i think about it it might have been NH3 in water

Answer 1

By NH4, do you mean NH4OH? Ammonia?

If you did that then you would get Ammonium Nitrate which is soluble and Silver Hydroxide which is insoluble.

I don't know too much about silver hydroxide, but solid ammonium nitrate is an explosive and fertilizer.

I do not know about the odor you encountered. The cream pink color must be from the phenolpthalene and the insoluble silver nitrate suspended in solution.

I don't think you are going to die from smelling this stuff. I would not advice drinking it though. That is usually pretty good advice in a chem lab though.
