Chemical Structure

Silver(II) chloride CAS 15955-35-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Silver(II) chloride is closely related to chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Silver(II) chloride (CAS 15955-35-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula AgCl2, MW 178.77 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula AgCl2, Silver(II) chloride contains chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic molecular-ion distribution patterns in mass spectrometry. The molecular weight of 178.77 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Silver(II) chloride meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
