Silver Acetate is a chemical compound which is white crystalline in nature. It is Photosensitive which means sensitive to the light. It is used in manufacturing anti smoking medicines in the medical field.
Silver Acetate Structural Formula
Silver acetate is formed when acetic acid reacts with silver carbonate at 45–60 °C and when cooled to room temperature it precipitates.

2 CH3CO2H + Ag2CO3 → 2 AgO2CCH3 + H2O + CO2

The structural formula of Silver Acetate is as shown below in the picture.
Silver Acetate is a moderately water soluble crystalline Silver source that decomposes to Silver oxide on heating. It is generally immediately available in most volumes. All metallic acetates are inorganic salts containing a metal cation and the acetate anion, a univalent (-1 charge) polyatomic ion composed of two carbon atoms ionically bound to three hydrogen and two oxygen atoms (Symbol: CH3COO) for a total formula weight of 59.05. Acetates are excellent precursors for production of ultra high purity compounds, catalysts, and nanoscale materials. We also produce Silver Acetate Solution. American Elements produces to many standard grades when applicable, including Mil Spec (military grade); ACS, Reagent and Technical Grade; Food, Agricultural and Pharmaceutical Grade; Optical Grade, USP and EP/BP (European Pharmacopoeia/British Pharmacopoeia)and follows applicable ASTM testing standards. Typical and custom packaging is available. Additional technical, research and safety (MSDS) information is available as is a Reference Calculator for converting relevant units of measurement.
Silver Acetate consists of elements Carbon, Hydrogen, Silver, and Oxygen. Carbon is a nonmetal present in group-14 of the periodic table. Its atomic number is 6 and is represented by the symbol C. Hydrogen is the lightest, colorless, odorless, tasteless, and flammable gas. Its atomic number is 1 and is represented by the symbol H. Silver is a soft, white, lustrous transition metal present in group-11 of the periodic table. Its atomic number is 47 and is represented with the symbol Ag. Oxygen is a highly reactive nonmetal present in group-16 of the periodic table. Its atomic number is 8 and is represented by the symbol O.

Silver Acetate is a white crystalline chemical compound with the molecular formula C2H3AgO2. It has a slightly acidic odor. Silver Acetate is a photosensitive compound i.e., sensitive to light. It is a moderately water-soluble crystalline silver source that decomposes to silver oxide on heating. Silver Acetate is used in the medical field to manufacturing anti-smoking medicine and also in the preparation of reflective, conductive silvered polymer films. The other names for Silver Acetate are Silver monoacetate and Silver ethanoate.
