Reducing Silver Ions With Dextrose
The goal for our lab activity was to make a silver mirror by reducing silver ions with dextrose. The materials that we used were acetone, 5 mL of 1.5 M ammonium nitrate solution (NH4NO3), 5 mL of 0.5 silver nitrate solution (AgNO3), 10 mL of 5% dextrose solution (C6H12O6), 10mL of 10% sodium hydroxide solution (NaOH), a 50 mL beaker, a 250 mL Florence flask with a rubber stopper, a 10 mL graduated cylinder, a waste beaker, and distilled water.
The first thing we did was rinsed the beaker, cylinder, and flask with acetone. To start, we poured the 10 mL of 5% dextrose solution into the flask. Next, we measured 5 mL of 1.5 M ammonium nitrate solution and poured it in the 10 mL beaker. Then we measured 5 mL of 0.5 M silver nitrate solution and
