Mounted Prints from Science Photo Library
Tarnished silver fork
Tarnished silver. Tarnished (bottom) and untarnished (top) silver forks. Silver tarnishes slowly as sulphur compounds in the atmosphere react with the surface to form black silver sulphide (Ag2S). Certain foods with high sulphur contents, such as eggs, can cause silver cutlery to tarnish more rapidly

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Science Photo Library showcases the intriguing transformation of a tarnished silver fork. The image beautifully captures the stark contrast between the bottom, tarnished portion and the top, untarnished section of the fork. Silver tarnishing occurs gradually as sulphur compounds in the atmosphere react with its surface, resulting in the formation of black silver sulphide (Ag2S). This chemical reaction is visually represented through this striking photograph. The significance of this phenomenon becomes even more apparent when considering certain foods with high sulphur contents, such as eggs. These foods can accelerate the tarnishing process of silver cutlery like this fork, causing it to lose its lustrous shine at an accelerated rate. The duo presented here invites us to ponder upon both chemistry and culinary experiences. It serves as a reminder that our daily interactions with various substances can have unexpected consequences on seemingly unrelated objects. Through this powerful visual comparison, we are reminded of how corrosion and chemical reactions impact our everyday lives – even on something as simple yet essential as eating utensils. This thought-provoking image encourages us to appreciate not only the beauty but also understand and respect these intricate processes occurring around us.
