Usage

Description

Silver oxalate (Ag2C2O4) is commonly employed in experimental petrology to add carbon dioxide (CO2) to experiments as it will break down to silver (Ag) and the carbon dioxide under geologic conditions . It is explosive upon heating , shock or friction .

Uses

Exptl photographic emulsion (low sensitivity).
