that makes perfect sense!! i told some other guy on sm also that when i added HNO3 to the black stuff left on the filter it immediately formed NO2,
almost like there was a darkbrown liquid formed
didnt ever expect silver to be able to be this fine.. but this means ..
confusing me alot, that the black stuff i thought all the time was Ag2O was actually ultra fine silver powder, ill dissolve it in HNO3 however as i
dont think i got the patience to melt it into a small blob of silver metal, when im gonna use it for dissolving in HNO3 anyways
