Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

AgNO 3 is used extensively for the preparation of silver mirrors. The process of depositing a thin and uniform layer of silver on a clean glass surface is known as silvering of mirrors. The process is based on the reduction of ammoniacal silver nitrate solution by some reducing agents like formaldehyde, glucose, etc. The silver film deposited on the glass is first coated with a varnish and finally painted with red lead so that it does not get scraped off.
