Silver becomes black because of hydrogen sulfide (sulfur), a substance that occurs in the air. When silver comes into contact with it, a chemical reaction takes place and a black layer is formed. ... Also sweat (which ammonia occurs in) raises the acidity of the skin and could tarnish the silver.Dec 19, 2018
