High chemical reactivity of silver nanoparticles toward hydrochloric acid

High chemical reactivity of Ag nanoparticles was observed in the reaction with hydrochloric acid: Ag (nanoparticles)+HCl→AgCl+H2Ag (nanoparticles)+HCl→AgCl+H2; the reaction product silver chloride was characterized by X-ray powder diffraction to give a direct evidence for the reaction which has been proved impossible for the bulk Ag.
